REMINDERS!
I hope Winterfest was fun and that you enjoyed Just Eat It, Jen and Grant's next challenge.
REMINDERS!
Monday is Pink Shirt Day and I believe some of you will be performing skits! Awesome!
Tuesday is our visit to Eastview and consent forms, which I assume went out today, need to be returned asap!
On Wednesday, Animal Farm's last two chapters are to be finished! The forms for Chapter Nine and Ten are now on the blog!
On Friday, we will have our Skype chat with Costa Rica.
ALSO, Friday is March 4th and that means you must submit your course selections for high school.
We have LOTS of catching up to do for math so expect a lot of algebra next week!

Snow Day!
With the snow day today, we won't be able to do our algebra practice! So the quiz will be postponed until sometime next week.
Remember that tomorrow is Winterfest though if it is also a snow day, Winterfest will then take place on Friday.
If that's the case, we won't get a chance to discuss Animal Farm on Friday. However, please ensure you have read up to chapter 8 and filled in the questions, just in case!
I'd like to assign chapters 9-10 for the following Wednesday, which will give you the weekend plus two extra days. And that means we will be done the book!
Links to google forms for those two chapters will be online by Friday night.
Also, keep in mind we are going to visit Eastview next Tuesday! A consent form was going to go out today...but the snow day has delayed that. Expect to receive it Thursday or Friday and bring it back ASAP!
Enjoy your snow day!

TODAY'S STEAM CHALLENGE!
WELCOME TO THIS MONTH'S STEAM DESIGN CHALLENGE!
FREE STANDING SLOW MARBLE ROLL STRUCTURE!
Friday, 19 February 2016
MONDAY REMINDER! NEED CONSENT FORM FOR STEAM DESIGN PROJECT FILMING!
If by chance you need a copy of the consent form that is due on Monday (because you may have lost it??), please email me and I can send it to you for you to print and sign. (my email: jujohnson@scdsb.on.ca).
Of course you can still participant in the STEAM design challenge without it!
It is simply to allow for a special media production by SCDSB. A SCDSB team is coming by Monday to film our design event as they are creating a video about our SCDSB STEAM initiatives (like the ones going on in our classroom!)
It is quite an honour to be invited/included in this media production!
So if you are able, please bring in the consent form for Monday!
Many thanks,
Mrs. J
