Spring Break

I hope everyone has a great spring break with their family! Take some time to read each day individually or as a family.

I miss each and every one of you and hope to see you soon!

Humanities

Students this week started to work on two large assignments.

Métissage-students are grouped into groups of 3 or 4 students and they picked a common theme that describes their identity. Now they are writing a story about the theme they picked. During the week before spring break, they will present they will braid their stories together and present it orally to the class. Students seem to be embracing the process and are asking lots of questions.


Micronations-students are working in groups of 4-6 and creating their own micronations. Next week they will need to pick a location, a national anthem, and a flag. For each step of their process, they will need to explain their thinking process as a group.

Please ask your children about both these projects and how they are feeling about the process.

Humanities/CTF

On Monday, students will be presenting/sharing their "present" portion of their novel study to the class.  All other parts of their novel study were due today; however, students can still hand it in on Monday. 

If any parents have magazines that are related to interior design that they would like to donate to my CTF class to be used for collages etc. I would be extremely thankful. 

Humanities

Reminder to students that Pink Shirt Day is on Wednesday, Feb 26th. Students are encouraged to wear pink to show their support for kindness.

Students will have an open book quiz on Friday. They need to ensure that they have completed their "cheat" sheet before then.

Novel study projects are due on Friday and can be handed in at any time between now and then. Monday students will be presenting their "present" portion of their project.

Current Event Presentations

Starting on March 6th, students will be completing another round of current events presentations. Students are required to find a news article from a reputable source from the week they are presenting. They need to provide a summary of the article. The importance of the article and how it relates to what they have learned this year or a previous year. 

The schedule is posted in the classroom if students are unsure of the day they are presenting and will be reminded the week before their presentation. 

Long Weekend

I hope everyone has a great long weekend. We are back to school on Tuesday, February 18th. I would like to remind students that they should have their novel read by the time they return on Tuesday.
