Happy Friday the 13th!

Good frosty morning Kingdom of fun!

Progress reports went home on Tuesday, please have your child find theirs, sign it and return it to school. This is not a term 2 report card, it's simply an update.

Humanities 8 update
We have had some excellent discussions about our novels and the Holocaust, lots of deep thinking, anger and confusion....which is good. We had our first Literature Circle yesterday and it went REALLY well! I was impressed at the level of discussion and the way the groups functioned. Reading Response #1 was due yesterday. All future Reading Responses will be due every Thursday for the next 3 weeks.

Humanities 9 update
My students have been working hard on creating their note making package for their Revolution. Yesterday went so well that I'd like to give them more time to do a great job. We'll be using this new information we're learning to create videos of our revolution...stay tuned!
