Gr. 41 Sept. 16-20

Group 41

We have a short week due to a ped. day Friday.
Please send in a set of ear phones, we need them for class activities with the iPads.
Use the EDMODO link on my blog to learn about this wonderful educational site I am using with my students. Please register using the PARENT CODE found on their page. Use it to join my class and you will have access to your child’s progress behaviourally and academically. You only have access to your child’s progress to ensure privacy.

I am assigning an Oral Presentation this week. The information can be found in The Field Day from the Black Lagoon activity book. I am asking the students to create their own infomercial. It will be due Friday October 4. Last year some students recorded their performance at home and sent it in on a Memory Stick along with the props. I am willing to give that option again as long as the video is compatible with Windows Media Player or (as one student did last year) the video is uploaded to a private YouTube account. Everyone is welcome to present live in front of the class though. Good luck and have fun!

*PLEASE SIGN THE BEHAVIOUR CHART IN THE AGENDA EVERY WEEKEND*
