Week of June 19th

Last week we finally completed the history presentations! I was impressed with the creativity, detail and clarity of some of the presentations. One group even created multiple copies of a complete board game! Well done!

Speaking of history, here's another Grade 8 Confederation rap:

On Friday afternoon, I treated the class to a spaghetti snack. We cooked and ate 3kg of pasta!!! I was happy to see how much all of you enjoyed it. As for the students celebrating Ramadan, I hope you enjoyed the take-home container of pasta...did you share it with other family members? ;-)

In math, we did data management using some primary data that we collected. Ms. D and some other students volunteered to take 50 free-throws and a tally of all successful baskets were kept.

Getting tips and pointers from the pros

Will it go in?!?!?!

Success!!! Thanks for the support!!!

50 shots takes some time!!! Way to go!

Looking like a pro!!!
