Monday January 11th Update

Hello Everyone!

Great job, everyone, on your hip hop presentation! You all had some great energy and did well with the choreography. We have a lot of rhythm in our group!

Today, in between hip hop dress rehearsals, FSA practice, Caribou Test practice, and the actual performance, we began hearing student presentations about the machines and inventions that have made the greatest impact on mankind. Everyone practiced their listening skills as great audience members, as well as the ability to give and receive both positive feedback and constructive criticism from peers. Tomorrow we will continue the presentations. If anyone has not finished working on their PPT or Prezi, they have made arrangements with me to do so, as we will not have further class time.

We will be doing the Caribou Math Test on Wednesday morning 9-10:30 AM. Please don’t be late on that day so we can go immediately to the computer lab. Also, I recommend practicing ahead of the test. There is a specific interactive puzzle you may want to try ahead of time so you are familiar with it. The tests run January 13th and 14th, with results posted Thursday evening.

For Math, please have your Skyscrapers packet finished through page 9.

If you have completed your Prezi, please send me a link to it via email at andrea.deterra@sd41.bc.ca. If you have done a PPT, please either print the slides or turn it in via USB to me so I can download it to my computer. Your notes, commentary, and rubric (with highlighted parts by you to evaluate yourself) are due to the inbox after presenting.

Please practice your debate speeches aloud for tomorrow, as we will begin debating then.

Have a great night!
