Good afternoon!

What a busy day! I can’t believe it went by so quickly! The students and I started out the morning with Computers. We were working on our powerpoint assignments from last week. Students have two more classes to work on these assignments. Students also had the option of doing some research for the Science Fair. A great website to check out is:

www.wbrsf.ca

This website has lots of great information for parents, copies of the logbooks, and a links section that includes websites that students can look at when considering different types of projects they might choose. There is also a great Parents section, for anyone who has any questions or concerns about the Science Fair.

We also had the opportunity to watch some Irish Dancing during Music today. It was great to see some of the dances live, and Mrs. Swansburg really appreciated our class setting a good example, and their great attentive listening!

In Art today we read about Alex Janvier, a First Nations artist who uses line to often tell stories in his artwork. Many of his lines are flowing, like Alberta’s rivers, and contain hidden images that convey the story. We then started our own story telling project. Students were challenged to “Take a line for a walk”. It was great to see how creative students were at using the line to convey their story challenges, but also the details that many added in to add to the description of their stories. Well done everyone!
