While we had another short week, it was a busy one!
This week we predominantly focused on our CSI unit, and preparation for our field trip. Students learned about the types of evidence detectives use to solve crimes, such as hair and fibre, fingerprints, and footwear impressions. We took our own fingerprints in class and made rubbings of our shoes to see the tread patterns in imperfections that come with wear and tear. We visited YouthLink, the police interpretive centre. While there, we gathered more evidence about our crime (some students already think they know who did it!) and experienced 3 modules about Drugs, Bullying and Online Safety. Students also learned how to make good decisions by listening to their brain, heart and gut. If one of those things says "this isn't a good idea" it probably isn't. Students received mini posters today to remind them to make good choices. Student vote results were released this week! We briefly touched upon them, but will be unpacking them next week and looking at them from a social and math lens. Student Vote Results can be found here! Homework: Written response on the independent novel they are reading is due Monday. And as the kids put it "ANYTHING ELSE WE DIDN'T FINISH". Phone calls were made by the students this morning if they need a little support getting things finished. Comments are closed.
