Belated Semester
As we are nearing the end of second semester, I thought it would be fitting to update my blog....even though I really didn't do so good at using it AT ALL this semester! I apologise if you have been checking this blog to see what has been going on in my classes. Better late than never though.
In my geography classes, we have wrapped-up yet another unit and will be writing its unit test this Friday (May 13th.) This will be an open-book test, so be sure that you bring your up-to-date notebooks!! In e-learning, we are beginning our 3rd unit and will be beginning our summative task in the next week or so.
The sun is spending more time in the sky now and tried not to hide behind so many clouds.....letting us know that the holidays are fast approaching us. Be sure to give it your all in the last few weeks, and to do your best to get those grades that you are capable of achieving! Hopefully, I will post again soon! Take care.

Welcome back!!!! Well, for a little while....Here we go.....into the home stretch! Hope you had a refreshing holiday and hope that you had fun ringing in a new year.....any resolutions???? I did make a resolution....and in order to hold myself more accountable, I will share it with you; I registered for the around the bay 30k, which will take place on March 27, 2011. It is a little ambitious, but I think that with some heavy-duty training....I can do it! Want to come and run with me after school? I will be running after school most Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30. I will probably be running 6k, but feel free to run whatever distance you want!
All of my classes are winding down into their summative projects. By the end of this week, all of my classes will have received their summative instructions and rubrics. Both History classes will be writing their last unit test this Wednesday, and then will begin their summative projects for the remainder of the week.
Well, don't forget that exams are not too far off and whenever you have a chance to review, reorganize and begin your studying you should take advantage and get a head-start! Don't save all of your studying until last minute!!!!! :)

'Tis the Season to be Jolly!Canadian History - This week we are learning about some of Canada's major contributions to the Second World War. We will be starting to watch a film this week that shows what life was like for German teenagers during WWII. I am hoping to finish up the WWII unit by Christmas break so that we can focus on
post-WWII once they return.
World Religions - We have been celebrating Hanukkah as well as Christmas in our class since our current unit happens to be Judaism. We are learning about Judaism's contributions to Islam and Christianity. We will be finishing up Judaism before Christmas break and will then begin Christianity just in time to appreciate its significance to our society today [hence the holiday:)]

Lest we forget.....
