Field Hockey is Over!

Now that the field hockey season is over, I hope to be able to update this blog a little more often...

So here's the update these days in the Kingdom of Fun:

Humanities 8

We have just completed our novel study of The Children of the Holocaust. Today was our last literature circle and Reading Response #4 was due today. My BF group has decided that they want to enter the Legion's Remembrance Day writing and poster competitions, so we will get started on that next week. Both groups will be creating displays for the Anne Frank play coming up at the beginning of December, we'll use these same projects for the Heritage Fair in the spring. I'm really excited about the research that we'll be doing!

BCFNS12

We are into Unit 2: Cultural Expressions. We just finished chapter 14 and are in the middle of chapter 15, Aboriginal Literature. Each student has chosen an Aboriginal novel/short story to read, some great titles to choose from!
