Update: Jan 30

This week, we have worked on 3-minute doodles of the Canadian events we've been studying, to help students combine the facts they've learned to form a complete story of each event. These doodles have been done in class, and students will submit their best three for marks tomorrow.

At the same time, we've been using a giant map in the learning commons to explore the historical geography of Canada. Students will be completing their own paper maps to demonstrate their understanding; these will be due next week (date TBA).

Marks have now been posted for 7-5's reading response 3, though many students have not shared their work with me in Google. These students need to let me know when they have shared their work so that I can mark it. Marks for 7-4 will be posted by Friday.

*Parent-teacher conferences are next week, and bookings are now available through the school website. I look forward to finally meeting all of you!

Update: January 21st

I hope you all had a great weekend! Just a few quick reminders:

- Reading response 3 (written, visual and presentation) should now be complete.

- Historical events assignment is due tomorrow. Please see previous post for assignment handout.

- Report cards go home on Friday.

Have a good week!

Update: Jan 16

Reading Response 3: students should be finished their written work for reading response 3. We are working on art pieces for one more period today, and they will be presented on Friday.

Canadian Historical Events: Yesterday students in 7-4 and 7-5 completed a timeline challenge to review the historical events we began studying before the holiday. Today we will return to that work in earnest. (7-3 has been working on historical events notes this week. 7-3's notes are due on Friday.)
