Happy New Year!

Hello and welcome back to school in 2014! I hope everyone had a great break. I was up to my eyeballs in drywall dust, paint and boxes as we madly tried to finish our renovation before Christmas. Thankfully we got enough done to put up the tree in time and have family over for dinner.

We are hitting the ground running here at Isfeld. My Socials 11 will be preparing for their Provincial Exam at the end of January. We are starting the new year with the government unit.

My Humanities 9s are starting the Aboriginal Unit. The big question is: "What does it mean to be Aboriginal?" My hope is to dispell myths and rumors, reduce racism and teach about the rich culture and heritage of Canada's Aboriginal people.
