Today we reviewed the parts of story and then looked at how we might write a character sketch as we prepare to start writing about the Ostia novel. That took us to recess. After recess we read and then transitioned to math. The grade 7 students completed p. 189, and some went on to do the mid-unit review on page 190. Page 189 is for homework if you didn't finish.
After lunch we watched a short TED talk that discussed the Pacific Gyre and the amount of plastic that is accumulating as pollution in our oceans. Next, we met with Mr. Pond's class and went to the Roberts Creek Beach to try to help the situation by collecting garbage. Some students were more focused on collecting garbage than others, but I think that it was a very useful exercise. Thank you Mr. Pond, for inviting our class to come with you. We did get a little bit wet, but I think that everyone had fun. When we returned from the beach we took a little bit of time to separate the garbage from the things that could be recycled. We ended the day with a few games of dodge ball in the gym.
Please remember that we have band on Monday so do not forget your instruments.
Also, those of you who borrowed science text books are requested to bring them back on Monday.
I hope everybody has a good weekend. If you have not returned your snowshoe trip forms, please do so on Monday.
