Another week down in 6B, and topped off with a well earned break.
This week we got some interesting work done despite heading into the break. In LA we worked on some projects to do with our scary stories. It is fun to see the level of interest and self-motivation in the different groups. Each group is taking it's own approach to explaining their story the best way they can. In composition we took a little break so we didn't have any work carry over the holiday. But in grammar we spent some time creating skits to explain how the parts of a sentence function. It was a lot of fun, and I hope to have a video of what we did up after the break (having left my camera in the classroom - argh!).
In Science we finished our Trees and Forests unit with our unit test. I am very proud to say that everyone improved in their performance from the first time we tok the test, usually between 30 & 100%. Next up is Evidence and Investigation, which always proves to be a very enjoyable unit.
In social studies we had a special guest visit us, Don Zech, chair of the Palliser School Board who came to tell us about how local government affects us at the classroom level. A big thank you goes out to Ms. Tiessen for arranging this special visit for us.
And in CE this week we continued With our investigation into the early ministry of Jesus wi th our assignment on the Gospel of Matthew. And we were ministered to by the rocking styles of Jon Buller.
All in all a great week. I hope you all have a great break and I look forward to seeing everyone back in j ust under two weeks.
