A few updates just before we go to break.
Report cards go home today. Make sure that you receive both the report card AND the behaviour report.
In ELA students have been working hard to complete their Global Impact Project. We will probably need the help of parents to spread our messages of environmental conservation to the community of Lloydminster and the world. Some students have elected to send pamphlets out into the community, some letters to companies and magazines, some have produced videos that we will be sending out into the world via YouTube. I will be posting a gallery of our work here on the blog. I thank you ahead of time for helping your students to push their messages & research into the larger community.
Upon our return, we will be partaking in a bit of a writing bootcamp, followed by an exciting project, where we will be doing some creative writing and hopefully be publishing our own books! Stay tuned for more info.
In Social we've been wrapping up some exciting rounds of our Global Government Simulation. When we get back from break we will be starting our Resource Investing project, which will end off our Resources & Wealth unit. We'll take a week or two to complete that project, and then we'll be switching gears to examine Power and Government.
In Performing Arts we have wrapped up our monologue presentations, and they were AWESOME! I am looking for a collection of volunteers to perform their monologues in front of a camera and a plain white background. We would like to screen a selection of monologue artists at our Art Night in May. If you're interested, PLEASE let me know! We'll be launching into a full out film review when we return, and then moving into an examination of Radio Plays and creating our own.
Lastly, I will likely be out of communication over the break, as I will be getting married. I will be back the Thursday following the break, and I do so look forward to hearing from the students about their adventures over break, and sharing with them stories of my own.
Take care, and have a wonderful Easter!
