Happy Wednesday Everybody!

Here are our 3 Stars of the Day!

1. Today in Social Studies we started our research projects! Students were put into groups based on the countries they chose to study. It was great to see how excited everyone was to begin research and learn about google presentations!

GOOGLE ACCOUNTS
Every student also logged into their Google Drive account-this is where you'll find google docs and google presentations. Every student was given their username to log in. Their passwords are the SAME as their school computer log in (they should all know this). It is their Name (with a capital) followed by the LAST 4 digits of their student ID. i.e. Sam6789
We will be working on this project often in class so the students will be experts in presentations before we know it!

***The students are informed that they are NOT allowed to work on their country presentations at home. This is because they are group projects and we need them to collaborate IN class to complete them. They CAN however show you their progress so far and are free to create individual presentations/documents about topics of their choosing.

Students are encouraged to share anything they do on google docs with me, so that I can give them feedback and see what they are working on.
To do this select "Share" then enter raoverdevest@educbe.ca.


2. Today we had music with Mrs. McBride and had a great time!

3. In math we continued working on our math monsters and have started on our good copies. Our classroom will be looking great when our families visit on Math Night!

4. Oops one more! Today was fun lunch! we had pizza and pasta! If you would like to order, you can visit the Cranston school website.
