Science Fair: Where we are...where we need to get

Science Fair has been a labour of love for 5G over the past few months, and I am so appreciative of all of the hard work from students and families to make this project a success. It is hard to believe it is coming to a close and that we will no longer have to stress about in text references and correct Bibliographies. It will be great to celebrate our hard work and exciting discoveries on the evening of Wednesday, April 16th (from 6 to 7 pm) in the Multi-Purpose Room. Now is the time to put some finishing touches on the product, carefully reviewing my feedback and comparing your own work to the guidelines very clearly laid out in the instructions manual. The board needs to be clear and easy to understand, and should communicate every section of your project (in correct order - so don't start with your Conclusion!). The boards are due in class on Tuesday, April 15th (no exceptions).

Thank you! Enjoy your weekend!

Civvies Day on Friday, April 18th

In preparation for the exciting Spring Fair, Collingwood is asking for your support in stocking the Spring Fair Candy Walk and Candy Shop! At the time of drop-off on the morning of Friday, April 18th, there is a Candy Drive. Two large Candy items per family would be an excellent contribution (think chocolate bars, chewy candies, hard candies, smarties, gum, lollipops - anything sweet!). Costco sells these things in large sizes, so that could be a fun shopping excursion (might as well pick up some extra for the house!). Please leave the candy in its original wrapping.

A $20 cash donation (rather than a candy contribution) would also be gratefully accepted.

Friday, April 18th is also a Civvies Day!

Congratulations, Olivia!

Olivia was the worthy recipient of a bronze medal in her Musical Theatre yesterday. She was up against a daunting 100 other participants, and she wowed the judges with her piece! Congratulations, Olivia!

Buddies in action...

Here are some images of the Buddies period this morning (only half of the class, the other half travels to 2M). 5G helped their Buddies write about endangered species.
