Bon fin de semaine!

Hope everybody has a great weekend, and a very happy Old Christmas Day. Best of luck as well to students that are pariticpating in the big hockey tournament.

The only homework for this weekend (besides reading) is a fun little science activity. It requires students to collect two contrasting nutritional food labels, and answer a few questions. The kids seem fairly excited about it, so I hope to see some good results on Monday.

I had a bit of a blast from the past today, as the class watched two Bill Nye the Science Guy videos. One was about blood and circulation, and the other about bones and muscles. We had popcorn and discussed the videos afterwards. I had forgotten how incredibly engaging and entertaining the videos could be, particularly for kids who enjoy episodic, quick-hit learning and entertainment.

Anyhow, have a great weekend and please get in touch with me if you have any questions. I put a link on KidBlog yesterday that goes to some fun physics-related games, so if kids get bored you can certainly send them there!
