Students continue to work on their Dear Canada novel studies. Students should have their second letter completed and signed by their parents by tomorrow. They should be also prepared for their third literature circle with ideas to share about what they are noticing as they read. Students have been given an individual creative writing assignment based on the theme of their novel. Their plans for this creative writing assignment are due by Wed February 27/08. In addition, students are further researching their themes for the making of their board games which is being completed as a group.
In Science, students are asked to examine electrical appliances in their own homes and to look at what energy transformations occur and how many Watts are being used. I am also asking if students have any batteries at home, ex. 9v or 2 c or 2D batteries to bring them in for a project and examples of insulators and conductors. If you are thinking of replacing your old Xmas lights for energy efficient ones please donate them to our classroom as we will put them to innovative use.
