January is in the books!

Update:

Report cards went home on Thursday. Please return signed envelopes right away.

This week we developed our own island nations and established the ten most important worldviews to guide our island. We then, suddenly, met people from other islands and had to figure out what to do with these people who were so very different from us, and had different values and beliefs. I was super impressed with what I observed going on in both classes around this work. This will lead into our study of Japan from the 1600's to the 1900's.

Next week:

Please have Read Theory completed through to #22.
Finish your assigned Japan novel chapters.
Finish your Island Reflection.

We will assign our Science Olympic colours and begin working on our flag.

Have an awesome weekend!

Or, is it just quality time with your controllers? :) Just want you to know that I'm thinking about you.

This is tied to our study of the Renaissance, and the factors that prompted this particular era. We've begun investigating worldview (values and beliefs) of society. We did a comparison of the Western and Aboriginal worldviews and how our own worldviews can be diverse, yet still make up a functioning society. University of Calgary University of Calgary is hosting an event called Go ENG Girl on  Saturday October 19 , from 9:30 am to noon.
