SOCIAL: We have just finished the unit on Provincial government. Students were asked to send me their MLA and the constituency that they live in. Of the 45 students, only 24 students responded. TEST this Thursday on chapter 6 Provincial Government.
RELIGION: we continue Family life. So far the questions have thought provoking. Students are respectful and polite and curious. I did ask them to think of a trusted adult that could be a back-up for them, in case they couldn't ask parents questions. I believe it is better to be well-informed than to get their information from the Simpsons or Google!
ART: Mother's day gift, Picasso self-portraits.
HEALTH: food labels. Students are going home today with a sheet to track their daily eating. I will pick them up next Monday.
