We held it together pretty well today, for October 30, but you will probably find your child has homework tonight. It's very difficult to keep our attention focused when tomorrow brings better things. Some of us are writing what Captain Coleburne meant when he said his heart and his head don't agree while others are trying to finish up number of the day. Some of us have both pieces of work to finish and bring back tomorrow.
Last week we were comparing fiction and nonfiction texts. We compared and contrasted their features in a venn diagram. Today we paired up with a partner and created a dictionary page, focusing on one nonfiction text feature. We will collect all the pages into a class dictionary that you can see when you come in November for Student Led Conferences.
Black and Orange day tomorrow
Beddington Heights is showing we care by running a Movember competition to bring awareness to and raise funds for prostate cancer research. Most of our male staff members will be growing a moustache for the month of November. Students may vote all month as often as they like for who they feel has the worst moustache. The cost is $1.00 per vote. $5.00 = 5 votes etc. Mavericks will be set up in the gym at lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays to collect votes. You may also give your vote to Mr. Sadowsky at any other time. All proceeds will be donated to the Movember foundation on behalf of Beddington Heights school. At the end of the month, the teacher with the most votes, therefore the worst moustache will come to work on December 1st with his hair dyed in a bright funky colour. If we raise $1,000.00 or more as a school, all the participants will dye their hair on December 1st.
Let's show everyone how much Beddington cares.
Thank you for your support!
Participants: Mr. Hebert, Mr. Weins, Mr. Sadowsky, Mr. Lancee, Mr. Mueller, Mr. Shackelton, Mr. Softley, Mr. Berry,
Mr. Mahon, Mr. Beechey, Mr. Jackson
