This week is the end of term one, and a very important day on Friday! All day Friday we will be working on our final science project: Project Build. The students have been working with their groups the past 5 weeks to prepare for this day. They've been investigating structures, crafting blueprints, and practicing building all for this day. The students have made a list of all the recycled items they need to accomplish their task. Below you will find a list. If you have any of the items please send them to school any day this week (before Friday, please!).
Items for Project Build:
- Used and washed Ziplock bags
-Cardboard
-Egg cartons
-Plastic containers
-fruit cups
-Straws
-newspaper
Also on Friday the students will be participating in a chapel (starts at 12:35) on the theme 'love does.' This theme is something we've been focusing on in class, and have brainstormed a love project based on it. The idea of 'love does' is that as Christians we are called to act in love. On Thursday the class and I had a great conversation about acting in love to others. I challenged them to brainstorm a way we can 'love does' an inner city grade 2 class (my friend is the teacher of the class) in Whalley. I gave them the challenge and then left them alone for 10 minutes to come up with ideas. When I came back they had a whole list of things we could do for this class, the main idea being putting together a surprise Christmas Party for them. Over the next few weeks the students have been challenged to do things around the house to errand money towards the Christmas party. Together with the money we raise we will be baking cookies, ordering pizza, purchasing a small gift, and making cards for the other class. We also talked about doing these things anonymously as it's not for other's to know it was us, rather God knows our hearts and actions and that's enough! It was awesome to see the kids put together this idea. I appreciate your support in helping make this happen. When I set a date for making cookies, parent support would be much appreciated!
