Humanities 8 presentations!
It's that time of year again, the grade 8s will be preparing their Religions/World Beliefs teaching presentations for next week. We have a ball every time we do this activity in grade 8. The students learn so much and have a great time. Here's some photos of past years:

Happy December!
Good morning Kingdom of Fun! Happy December! The countdown is certainly on for winter break...16 more days!
Mr Merrick is also on his countdown to being finished his practicum and graduating from University! Mr Merrick will be giving me the 8-2s on Monday, Dec 5 and he will continue with the 9-2s and 8-1s until December 9. He's had a great practicum.
Humanities 8 update:
Students are now deep into their research on their chosen religion. They are creating a note making package which they will use to study for the unit quiz and also for their teaching presentations which will happen the last week of school. The notemaking packages are due Tuesday, December 6th. We are asking that all overdue assignments for Mr Merrick be handed in as soon as possible so he is not marking over the holidays!
Humanities 9 update:
Our students are studying Colonial Canada, figuring out our roots as a country and the roots of some of our conflicts. The students will be starting a newspaper project shortly, should be some fun writing and learning! The Survival Projects are now overdue, please get them in as soon as possible. Mr Merrick and I will not be accepting them after December 12.
