Happy Fall!

I am loving these gorgeous, crisp mornings!  Fall is a lovely time of year.

Humanities 9 update:
The 5 themes of geography assignment was due today.  We looked at some Canadian Geography today by making a 3-D map and making notes on the geographic regions of Canada.  No homework tonight.

SS11 update:
We are looking at the ugly truth of trench warfare in The Great War.  Today we will learn about the Christmas Truce and create a postcard from the trenches.  Homework will be the postcards if they aren't completed in class.

Corn Roast Success!

What a great morning! We had a celebration of the 9s this morning in A block, playing in the field and eating roasted corn. Good fun! All of us teachers wanted to celebrate the 9s, what a great bunch they are this year.

Humanities 9 update:
Family dinner stories are overdue now...still a few haven't been handed in. "Who do you think you are" mind maps are also overdue now (due yesterday). We have started the Canadian Geography unit. There is no homework this weekend!

SS11 update:
Chapter 1 is done and reviewed. Great results on the Chapter 1 test. We just need to work on our writing responses. This class is super engaged, great thinking and analysis. If questions 1-6 are done on the Chapter 2 (WWI) review package as well as the vocabulary, there is NO HOMEWORK this weekend! You're welcome.

Have a super weekend!

Still in a fog

I'm still feeling like my brain is on summer holidays, even though my body is at school. Slowly we will all get into the swing of things again and before we know it, Winter break will be here!

Memes were due yesterday, we all had a good chuckle over them and it was great to get to know everyone in class.  There is no homework for tonight!  Make sure you have good reading material for Silent Reading though.

Chapter 1 test is on Monday.  You must also hand in your Chapter 1 Review Sheet (vocabulary and questions) and your Chapter 1 crossword.  This is a great class, full of "chatters".  We'll have to have lots of class discussions and debates.

Update!
