Up and Running Once Again

Yes - it has been a long time since my last post - but I am trying this again! The second semester is going well - a few weeks in and everyone is settling in. Grade 10 history classes are currently being instructed by a student teacher, Mr. Mann, who joins us from Brock University's teacher college program. He will be here until the March Break - which is only 2.5 weeks away!
The grade 11 history class is reminded of their first major unit summative about archaeological sites which is due this Monday, 27 February.

Half Way Through!! That's 1/2 or 50% or .50 or 2/4 for you mathies ....

CHC 2D - we are in the middle of our third unit : Canada in the Interwar Years. Students are working on a creative oral presentation assignment - hoping to see some really fun and creative approaches. We should finish this unit by the end of November and then move into Canada and World War Two.

CHW 3M - We are currently studying the civilizations of Ancient Greece and then Ancient Rome - both roots for our modern Western Civilization (especially all things Greek!) Consistent attendance and participation in daily lessons is especially important to attaining and maintaining good marks so be sure to 'rev' yourself up for the next five weeks or so before the holidays!

CLN 4U - just finishing our unit on Rights and Freedoms. Test tomorrow.
Bonus Question: What Prime Minister was responsible for the patriation of our Constitution in 1982? Good Luck.
