REPORT CARDS
Second term report cards will be coming home this Friday, March 11. There are sign-up sheets on the hallway bulletin board. We are having student-led conferences again this term so there will be more than one family in the classroom at the same time. The students will be sharing their portfolios with their parents.

PENGUIN VIDEOS
We went down to the grade 7/8 classroom to use their smart-board on Friday. We watched video-clips of each type of penguin species. The children were very excited to watch “their” penguin. We used a site called (internet bird collection) and looked under (penguins). They have a collection of various videos for each penguin. I looked through them first and chose one video per penguin for the class. There were more to choose from that you may wish to watch with your child at home. Be careful which ones you choose – some are about “penguin being attacked by leopard seal” or “penguin love”, so you may want to select carefully!

PENGUIN RESEARCH
We have started the rough draft of our research projects and will be working on our final reports this week. We have a couple of penguin experiences to work on this week as well, such as – “Do penguins feel cold?” and “How to walk with an egg on your feet?”
