-We went over the different options of types of projects students can do for their STEM fair. All projects will be due Feb 20th. This week students should decide if they are working individually or in a pair. Students are urged to work individually. If students have decided to work in groups of two, it is their choice and they should make sure it is someone they can work with. That they are able to meet to work on the project outside of class time. Please note that if you work in a group students may receive individual marks that reflects their portion of the work.
-A hand out was given to grade 6 to explain the STEM process. Grade 8 students wishing to have a copy can see me tomorrow.
-Stay tuned for updates on where your child should be in the Stem process each week by checking the class website.

-I encourage you to help your child complete the “Song Lyrics: Healthy or unhealthy?” assignment. Together you can choose a song that talks about a relationship. Discuss and answer the questions on the sheet provided. Students will share their song and answers with the class to generate discussions over the next few classes.
