Upcoming Assignments and a few important things!

Just a quick update on a few important things going on in our classroom.

Health

In our health unit we have been working with one of the SAFESHIP nursing students all term. We are just starting the unit on sexual health. We will be covering some anatomy, fertility, STI's and chastity. If you hear some crazy stories from health (particularly about today's gym class) please know that we are doing our best to make the topics interesting and promote student engagement on the topics.


Science:

We have a unit exam on Wednesday March 14th, I assigned this exam a few weeks back and forgot to post about it on the blog.

We will be wrapping up our Water Systems unit and will be moving on to Optics. We have also registered for the Cardboard Boat races, a partnership with Sask Polytechnique, which will take place near the end of the year.

ELA

We have started our Novel study of  "the Giver". I cannot stress this enough, please do not watch the movie until we are done reading in class. The students have a few assignments to be completed throughout the course of the novel study.  Here are the due dates that they have already:

Friday March 16- Ceremony of 12 point of view assignment
March 29th- Community group project.
April 10th- The Giver final project (individuals choice)


Phys Ed:
We have wrapped up our basketball unit and will be moving on to a fitness based unit, exploring various types of activities from fitness testing to yoga!

That's all for now !

Don't forget to sign up for 3 way conferences. Just a note, portfolios will not be coming home prior to conferences as we have not had many major assignments to add to the portfolios since my return. During conferences we will be going through a student led approach as the students will walk us through the conference.
