Halloween Week

Monday, October 26

Humanities 8
We did an activity on contour lines for marks. It went fairly well, there are some students that do need to see me to make sure they understand this concept...I've been waiting!

FNS12
Chapter 14 notes were due today. I did some story telling and we watched "Child of Tears" aka Snot boy.

We played a game called "The Famous 15", where we used our super duper geography skills (latitude and longitude, using an atlas, recording locations on a map etc), and our math skills to track down a group of people using a stolen credit card. It was fantastic, and one team even got the right answer to the penny!

FNS12
Today you completed chapter 14 questions and started on chapter 15 notes.

We had a quiz today on the Canada map, latitude and longitude and contour lines. All tests are marked and everyone did very well! Way to go! The rest of class time was spent on projects.

FNS12
We signed out some Aboriginal Literature from the library today to read. I'm expecting everyone to read a novel or short story and complete a brief summary about the reading and hand in the summary. The rest of the class was spent on chapter 15.
