Week of February 13-17th

Happy Friday to all of you!

I was in disbelief at yet ANOTHER SNOW DAY as well as a two hour delay! Oh boy. I've loved all the extra time with my own children, sledding, snowshoeing and crafting, but will be thrilled when winter is in our rear view mirror! This month has been brief with all our missed days and late starts. Here's to one more week until our February vacation. March will be here before we know it!

SHARK TANK

This multifaceted project has taken up the majority of our time at school this past week. Students worked together to build as a team. Mrs. Loh and I then modeled a horrific Shark Tank presentation versus a dynamic one. Students took note to include the following in their presentation...

Shark Greeting
Brief Introduction
Set the scene for why their product is needed
Name the product and include the slogan
Showcase the product (with the PMI scale as well as demonstration)
Ask for a certain amount on money based on a percentage
Capture Sharks in the end

After two days of script writing, teachers along with paras gave specific feedback after groups practiced. Some groups needed help putting enthusiasm into their pitch while others needed to fine tune the flow of their script and include other important information. On Monday and Tuesday, we will act like Sharks (we will be brutal) so the students will be ready for Wednesday!

Please join us in the cafeteria this Wednesday, February 22nd at 1:15 for our SHARK TANK presentations!

Here are some pictures from our Valentine Breakfast with our Buddies. We had a delightful time with the Koalas!
