A short week, so a short post.
We have been continuing to work on the Medieval Christmas project with a composition on a Christmas tree thrown in for good measure. Again, I remain impressed with the work the kids are bringing to me and continue to challenge them to achieve higher. We hopefully will finish up on medieval Christmas in the next week and a half.
With Science, the highlight of the week was working on detecting latent fingerprints with various everyday powders, including flour, baking powder, corn starch, chalk dust (calcium carbonate) and powdered clay. It was a great time, identifying which powders (on different surfaces) worked the best.
In Social Studies, Mr. Nardella took us down the route of examining the roles and responsibilities in our provincial legislature. It is adding a new level of appreciation for what our government does for us in Alberta.
And in CE we continued to explore the teachings of Jesus and discuss the ways in which our faith applies to our lives.
Overall, another great week (though shortened) and topped off with a chance to meet many of you and discuss how your child is progressing. Have a great weekend and talk to you next week.
