Today Malik showed the class his S.O.L.E project. He made gluten-free brownies and on top he  put cookie dough and to  top it off a chocolate ganache. It was so good. YUM!!!! Here's the recipe to the dessert and Malik making them, in the video down below!

Space, the Final Frontier

Space travel is worth the risk because we have learned so much from space travel. From the origin of our galaxy to curing cancer, all types of cancer too!!! We have even learned that there are other habitable planets out there. Satellites give us internet and pretty much everything on a computer. Also, from space travel we have developed scratch proof glasses. So we have got a lot from space travel and I believe it is worth the risk.

By Tait Graham

One dark and stormy night, there was a cute little nerd,

who peered out her window and saw a girl who looked a lot like Alice from her favourite book Alice in Wonderland.

She decided to put on her coat and go outside to follow this strange site. Not wanting to lose sight of Alice, she didn't notice a biker about to run her over. After stumbling around, confused for a minute or two, the Little Nerd was able to eventually regained her composure.

Alice was ahead of her quite a bit by now so the Little Nerd had to hurry to catch up. Even though she was in a rush, she did stop and give money to the sad, pathetic looking homeless man at the side of the road.

As she continued to follow Alice, she noticed a Starbucks up ahead. Although her favorite drink in the world is a frappuccino she did not stop to order one. It is a good thing that she didn't stop otherwise she would have missed watching Alice fall down a hole.

Just as The Little Nerd was going to follow Alice down the hole, Kylo Ren jumped out blocking her way. The Little Nerd was so scared. She screamed out for help and, like a hero in the dark, an Archer came to her rescue. 

Now that the way was clear for the Little Nerd to go down the hole, she jumped through it and started falling down. Actually realizing that she was in a very confusing sewer system, the Little Nerd felt quite scared. She was instantly reassured when she saw kind Little Bo Peep with both her sheep and a goat! Little Bo Peep explained that she has a Divergent with her to keep her safe from the Dragon.“ A dragon!” exclaimed the Little Nerd. At that exact moment the dragon popped out and started chasing the Little Nerd.

Little Bo Peep's goat.

Not to fear, a superhero jumped out right at that exact same moment and guided the Little Nerd safely to the Gypsy.

 The Gypsy explained to the Little Nerd that she will remain safe as long as she avoids Harley Quinn, the evil Joker. It was explained to the Little Nerd that if she has a tube of toothpaste to squirt at the evil joker she will be safe because Harley Quinn is deathly afraid of toothpaste.

 The Little Nerd was finally led to Mario and Luigi who capably bounced her up the sewer system and back to above ground. She ran quickly through the night back to her house where she finally felt safe again.

Last week in math, Mrs. Degeer's class used the Dash robots for a coding lesson. Each group had to pick a starting point in the class then each group had to pick a prime number that was taped to the floor.  They couldn't pick a prime number that another group chose. Mrs. Degeer had decided to put different obstacles such as pylons in front of the starting positions. After the groups had picked their prime number, they had to find a way to program the Dash robot to land on their prime number and avoid the composite numbers in their way! We saw great improvement in the students working together, in their coding ability and they had a lot of fun!

We've been learning about space in science for about a month now and we finally have some presentations to show you about the Earth, Sun and Moon. We had an online vote for the students to determine which presentation would go on our blog and the winner for the poster is Brody C., and the winner for the media presentation is Briar C. Congratulations to the winners. Scroll down for a video of Briar's iMovie and a picture of Brody's poster. So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy!

Well, we just finished our read aloud of Wonder by RJ Palacio.  You could hear a pin drop in our class everyday that I, Mrs. Degeer, read the book to the students.  Today, when I finished the last line of the book, students erupted in applause.  Please watch the trailer for the book below and please scroll down even farther to see what the students said about this wonderful book; Wonder!

Our new class job chart is ready for action!! Click on the video for a quick explanation on how it works!

Math Mobiles Website

Learned about this great math website that gets the students doing algebra and they don't even realize it!
