Our class has been lucky enough to register in a live Webchat with Discovery Education. We are chatting with distinguished physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, as he discusses the nuclear crisis in Japan following March's devastating earthquake.
Dr. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, best-selling author, and co-founder of string field theory. A leading and popular figure in science education, Dr. Kaku also serves as Host of Sci Fi Science on the Science Channel.
We are registered and ready to go! We simply will need to login to http://links.discoveryeducation.com/JapanWebinar
Students will have the chance to submit questions to ask live!
SO EXCITING!!!! The action begins at 1:00pm sharp.

Science Projects: Grade 5
The students will be bringing home their science project on Tuesday May 17th. It is a large project and requires the help of the internet, and some parental guidance. If students are having any technical problems, such as printers or are not able to access the internet (and cannot find anything in the Kanata Library) they are to contact Miss. Sturgeon right away and use the school computers at recess times. Web links will be provided here to help, so check for frequent additions.
Please refer to the handout sent home, as it includes all the instructions, the expectations, and even a level 4 sample report as a guide for you child.
Both the short report (1 page single spaced) and the poster (each for a different resource) will be due Monday May 30th.
As a result, there will be less weekly homework for Grade 5s in order to allow time to work on this nightly. It should not be a lot of work if done for about a half hour or so nightly. It should never be left until the last week or last few days. It will count as part of their science mark, and homework learning skills.

EDUCATION WEEK
Education week is upon us. It will be a busy week, so there is less assigned homework; only a few sheets of math graphing review. Our Open House is Friday morning at 8:15am and our school Mass is tomorrow at 10:45am. The Dance club will be away performing their talents on Thursday and will show their moves on Friday morning.
Please keep checking the agenda nightly and signing. I see many unsigned or un-initialled days and worry parents do not know what is happening at school.
We said farewell to our Student Teacher today with a party and a presentation of a beautiful book the students made for her.
Our school was surprised this morning by an incredible rock performance to kick off Education Week. They performed songs about being different and its chic to be a geek.
The ECOTEAM is still busy taking care of recycling and Green Bins. We are doing very well with our collecting. Thanks to all the students who participate!
