This morning we had Jeff Stockton speak to us about how to tell our story while presenting it.  He talked about story telling vitamins and that we need to practice our story every day.  Please see below for Hreem and Owen's storytelling.

This afternoon we continued to work on our Mars Inquiry.  Students were required to pick only 10 items they would want to take to Mars if they had the opportunity.  Please see below for some pictures.

After the inquiry class students were involved in a knowledge building circle.  Please see below for their answers on what they believe they should bring to Mars:

Emma: Nutritious food

Elora: I think you should go to school before you go to Mars

Emily: Clean Air

Dayna: training because you need to know how to survive on Mars

Morgan: clean water so you can drink

Marcus: Health care so you can help someone that is hurt
Marin: someone with you

Sam: you need to go to college so you can learn to get a job for Mars.  Once you get a job you need to find the importance of the planets

Notes:
1) Raz Kids usernames/passwords have been created.  They are attached to your child's blue folder.  Please go online to make sure your account works.
2) How is the Mathletics going? I'm hoping we will become one of 50 Canadian classes to become Mathletics experts.
