It has been a busy week full of change and learning opportunities. Thank you to the families who continued to partner with GCS during this time!

Heritage Fair Due this Week!
Grade 5 should send an audio visual / video presentation of their Heritage Fair project to Mrs. Jelley by Tuesday, April 7th. You can do this by uploading your presentation to Google Drive and sharing it with her at kjelley@gcspei.ca. This could include a video with a completed backboard or a Google Slide presentation with audio recorded for each slide (if some students were not able to purchase a backboard and supplies). This presentation will be evaluated.
Things to remember when recording a presentation:
What is in the background? Is the lighting appropriate? Am I looking at the camera? Is the camera appropriately positioned to capture the details of my board? Have I practiced what I am going to say enough that I can present my best?
That’s all for now. See you next week
Mr. Wood
