ART GALLERY AND SLAM POETRY CAFE BACK ON FOR ORIGINAL DATE!
Mrs. Czarnota and I have managed to reschedule our art gallery and slam poetry cafe for Weds April 26th!
Dear Parents, Guardians and Community Members,
This WEDNESDAY APRIL 26th at 12:30 the grade ⅞ class here at Shanty Bay will be hosting a SLAM POETRY CAFE and ART GALLERY!
Students will be presenting their slam poems during the cafe! Afterwards, there will be time to tour our art gallery showcasing the art research projects!. Students researched an artist of their choice, detailed a short biography, wrote an essay analysis on a piece of their artwork, and then created an artwork of their own in that artist’s style!
The event starts at 12:30 in the tech room downstairs! Please sign in at the office!
Regards,
Julie Johnson, grade ⅞ teacher and Heather Czarnota, teacher-librarian

ART, COMMUNITY WALKS, DREAM VACATION...
First of all, students have now selected an artist to research for our upcoming art gallery exhibition April 26. (see page on Art Research Task for more details)
Second of all, students are well on their way to completing their Dream Vacations! Presentations are set! (see page above to learn all about this Financial Literacy/Oral Language/Media project)
Lastly, we went on our first community walk of the spring! We will continue to take these walks to a) be together as a class community, b) enjoy nature/exercise (great for health/stress reduction!) and c) apply our artistic eye to our personal experiences!
On our first trek, students were asked, in pairs, to decide on an image/photo that best represented the walk to them. Then they uploaded them to our instagram account (see sidebar to link to our class instagram)

DREAM VACATION MEDIA PRESENTATION!
This is one of my favourite projects in intermediate! Students love researching, planning, budgeting, and dreaming about their favourite get-away!
TASK: You have been given an imaginary $7500 to spend on a dream vacation. You are to create a media/oral presentation about your travel plans and costs.
Its math ('financial literacy') + research + planning + media creation + oral language skills + day dreaming!
Check out the page above to see more details!
Where will you go? Peru? The Caribbean? British Columbia? Europe? California? It's up to you!
