  Construction Grade 6:  Students are finalizing their shapes and adding the decorative pieces to their projects Students are doing the final sanding on their projects Students are painting their projects Only 2 weeks to the end of this term Construction Grade 7, 8 & 9 A B and C Students have been given more time complete earlier stages of their projects Some Students will be finish sanding, painting or staining their projects Some Students are beginning to complete a reflection on the process Next steps are to learn how to use SketchUp  Electro-Technology Students are beginning to gather the components and begin building their robots For the next few classes we will be working on completing the robot build

   Construction Grade 6:  Students have moved into the building phase of their projects They have learned to use the saws, gathered their materials and are laying out their project before they start cutting. Next we will be learning about abrasive tools Construction Grade 7, 8 & 9 A B and C Students have been given more time complete earlier stages of their projects Some Students will be finish sanding, painting or staining their projects Some Students are beginning to complete a reflection on the process Next steps are to learn how to use SketchUp  Electro-Technology Students have begun learning about how the components of the robot work together Students are learning how computer code, controllers and a power supply can work together to direct their robots

  Construction Grade 6:  Starting toy project Prototype Plan Start material list Skill Building: Hand Saws Next we will be gathering materials and start the layout of our project Construction Grade 7, 8 & 9 A B and C Students are starting to sand their projects smooth Students will continue working towards painting or staining their projects Students are beginning to complete a reflection on the process. Electro-Technology Students will be continuing their work on creating Pseudo-code Next we will begin developing our robotic rovers
