Rain Rain GO AWAY!

A rainy second day of school :(

ELA 9 - We started class by going through the course outline, and checking out what our first unit, titled "In Search of Self", is all about. We had some discussion about identity, and then started our first assignment: a poem titled "I Am".

PAA 9 - Sewing Class! We did a worksheet on small equipment used for sewing. Students are asked to bring a sewing kit filled with sewing supplies. A list has been given to take home.

SOC 10 - We continued our discussion of social organizations and started the topic of social contracts.

CND 30 - We began our topic of Change today, discussing the process of change, and how change affects worldview.

WELCOME BACK

Welcome back students and parents of LHS!!! Once again I am going to be using a blog to update both parents and students of the happening in my classes, and at LHS. My goal is to update as often as possible to ensure you have up to date information. Please email me with questions or concerns you may have.

Our first day back started with a school assembly to introduce new staff and students and to update everyone on SRC happenings. We then met in our homerooms for the rest of the hour. This year my homeroom in Grade Nine.

PAA 8 - We looked at the course outline and started our first unit: Kitchen Safety

SOC 9 - After going through the course outline we defined two key concepts for the Social Nine Course: Society and Worldview.

SOC 10 - We started learning about the first topic of unit one today: Social Organizations.

CND 30 - Students were 'tested' in their knowledge of Canada. In groups they did a brainstorm of information they know of Canada. We also did a citizenship test.
