Performance photos: We had a great opportunity on Friday to watch Chloe Bozak and other members of the Gymnastics club and the Cirque artists perform Alice In Wonderland. Mr. Martin wasn't able to take very good photos in the dark, but here are some from the performance

While Madamme Wocknitz was working on French with some students, Mr. Martin reviewed information from the end of the Ecosystem unit with the rest. The students should ALL be done finding research/background informatin for their projects by tomorrow. If we can book another computer time this week for their projects, we will. The students are expected to do this project at home, and they can start to bring in their final reports/projects by the end of next week.

In Mr. Martin's class today, I handed back all the good copies of their hunting/cave story. They each had to do a self assessment of their work before I shared my mark with them. Only 18 students turned it in for marking (due November 21-22) The mark I placed on the top of the paper is a reflection of their writing ability at this time. If you require more specific information, please contact me at the school, and we can discuss the progress your son/daughter has made. They will have one more computer time on Tuesday afternoon to finish off their paragraph defending or arguing against "Did banishment fail Cole?" They need to include a list of events in the first 13 chapters in which the banishment changed Cole's actions, and ways in which he still has not learned.
English
In Miss. McFarland's class we read chapter 12 of Touching Spirit Bear. We are starting to see some major changes in the main character, it seems that eating mice, worms and other unusual meals does a lot for a person's character;). Students then completed comprehension questions on the chapter and made a prediction for what will happen next.
Socials
Today we watched the 4th short video in the series "Stories From the Stone Age". This is a series of videos Ms. McFarland found on YouTube that directly connects to the Socials curriculum we are looking at this term, the transition from Hunter-Gatherer to farming. The students will be getting marks on their note taking ability from the last series of videos, as well as they had to answer some questions from video 3 and 4 in their notebook. The key ideas today were
1) how they came to stay at the Fertile Crescent area
2) how they domesticated certain wild plants to grow in that area
Socials
In Miss. McFarland's socials class we watch two parts of a short video series called "Stories from the Stone Age." The series looks at how hunter-gatherers made the transition to farming. Students are completing worksheets to go with the videos. Once finished we will be using the notes taken on the worksheets to make a summary of the videos. They important ideas covered today were the discovery of grain as a food source and the tools used to harvest it and how this discovery impacted their life style.
