I started collected money ($20) and forms (blue paper) for our upcoming field trip to watch Twelfth Night. If you weren't able to today, please return your forms tomorrow. This is information I need to submit to Theatre Calgary to confirm our spot. Also, we'll need a few parents/guardians to join us. If you're free, please email me at [email protected].
We had our practice quiz today in preparation of Thursday's final. Students can take the key ideas that appeared in the quiz and use them as a study guide for the next couple of nights. Tomorrow and Thursday we will have guests in our class from GlobalFest. We'll be working with them on a poetry project.

A few students presented their Pecha Kucha presentations. Students who have not presented yet need to do so next week. Students had time to work on their linear perspective sketches. Please finish these up tonight and I'll post them in our classroom tomorrow. Tomorrow I will send home a letter and some forms regarding an upcoming field trip to Theatre Calgary. We started today by reviewing the ideas we talked about yesterday. Students answered a few questions independently and then we went over them together.
