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.

Updates!
Humanities 9
There's a test tomorrow on the Aboriginal People of Canada unit! Study hard! Your projects are due next week, but today is the last class to work on them...you've had 2 full weeks in class/library to work on them. I'm looking forward to reading them!
Humanities 8
The Religions and World Beliefs unit is in full swing! Last week was a fun game that Mr Merrick ran that taught how some religions were able to spread faster than others. Now he is teaching about stereotypes and racism. The awesome student teaching presentations will be happening in December, one of my favorite projects for the 8s!

Non-report cards aka Progress Reports
Non-report cards went home on Tuesday for Humanities 8 and 9! I did do comments, but unfortunately they will not print out on the Progress Reports I sent home. Instead the comments will show up on the School Report Cards which will be going home today (Friday) at 3:20. The Report cards don't have marks on them, but the Progress Reports do...I know, could it be any more confusing?
Please find the Progress Reports, sign them and send them back to school. I've only received 8 back out of 90 so far...and I've even resorted to bribery! Bring those non-report cards back to school. Thanks and have a great weekend!
