We started the morning with a discussion/review of our paragraph writing skills. We have left our creative writing for a while and this week we'll be getting back to it. At 09:45 we went up to the gym for our key words assembly. This week we are focusing on "respect." Our class leaders (Sophia, Saleah, Noah, Braedon and Landseer) did a great job facilitating the assembly. I thought the rest of our class did a good job modelling respectful behaviour for the younger students.
After recess the 6s did math and the 7s did two written sections of their FSA tests. I saw some clear similarities between the type of responses asked for on the FSA and the type of responses asked for on the English 10 and 12 provincial exams. I was pleased that students elected to type their responses since that is the format we practice in class. I think students are more likely to edit their work on a computer than they are if they've written on paper.

After lunch some did personal reading while we gave time for the 7s to complete the written portions of their FSA exams. Next, we looked at water conservation as a follow up to the documentary we viewed last week. The SCRD had an informative page on their website. Here is the link: http://www.scrd.ca/Water-Conservation
On the site we used the one-minute calculator to estimate our personal water consumption. You parents might like to give it a try. How long do you think it will be before water is more valuable (in dollars) than oil? Will it be in your lifetime? What are the implications?
We ended the day with some time to work on our Egypt inquiry projects.
Please remember to bring your recording devices tomorrow in case we need them for art.
