Congratulations to Windsor-7

Jump to Comments

Congratulations to all of the Windsor-7 students for an outstanding culminating event this past Wednesday. Everyone should be complimented on their great efforts. A special recognition goes to the speakers, who had the additional responsibility of preparing a speech for the invited guests. All of the students presented their written reports with knowledge and poise to the adults who attended. We were thrilled that so many parents could join us for the morning. Great job Windsor-7!!

This week we get to relax at a culminating event, as we are the guests of York-7 on Thursday. They have been involved in an expedition around an environmental issue, as well.

As the race for the presidency heats up, the students are taking a look at the process through their social studies and language arts class. Homework for social studies involves interviewing adults about the candidate they are currently supporting. In language arts we continue to examine the techniques used in advertising, including political commercials.

The students have a first draft of their personal narrative due on Thursday. This piece should be typed and printed before their class on Thursday.

Our next expedition will begin in March and will focus on the “Sparks of Liberty” in Boston. We have scheduled a day in Boston for May 6th, during which we will walk a section of the Freedom Trail and participate in presentations at four Boston historical sites. Chaperones are needed for this day, which will run from 6:45 am until 5:30 pm. Please email one of us if you are interested. As you can imagine, the cost of the transportation to Boston has risen considerably due to the fuel charges. We are going to do another math-a-thon fundraiser in early February. Our hope is that we raise most of the cost of this trip through those efforts. We thank you in advance for your support.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that we have a full week of school again.

Mrs. MacDonald
