You need to have this passion to succeed in life. In recent weeks I have seen many of you get spring fever and lose your will to learn. Many of you are going goldfish,

not asking questions and just wanting answers. This passiveness needs to disappear and you need to rekindle your passion to learn.

We only have a few weeks left in school. Take everyday as an opportunity to find new things to learn and use this knowledge to succeed on your final assignments and exams.

Watch this video and listen to these Grade 5 students. They are part of a noon hour club in New York City. These kids have passion. They want to sing, learn be active in society. Watch their faces as they sing and the passion in their voices. The students have sung onstage with many performers and will be singing with Fleetwood Mac at Madison Square Gardens infront of 18 000 fans on June 11th.


Find your passion and succeed.

• Photos with (cc only make sure to have the proper references)

On Wednesday you will then start the 2 week process of putting the movie together. There will be 2 types of movies. Slidecasts or presentations with an audio track, and movies that you make in iMovie or on your PC. Both will be relatively simple if you have all the "puzzle pieces" in place.
