March 15th

Good afternoon!

We had a wonderful Friday. Students were given a Social Studies project today. We discussed this project yesterday in class. The project is a menu. Students order an appetizer, a main course, a side dish, and if they are still hungry dessert. We have completed the appetizer sections in class. All students are responsible to complete a main course and a side dish. I have given all the students a graphic organizer to help with their research, and they had computer time today to get started. Each student is researching a region of Alberta, or a region of Canada. This project will be due on April 9th, but I have asked students to not leave this project to the last minute, as we will also have a Science project coming home shortly. If you need some help with your research, check out the links below!
