Hallowween is coming and the Pumpkin's getting fat!

History Welcome to the Interwar Years, the third unit in your history course. Throughout this unit we will be learning about various things that took place in Canada during the 1920s and 1930s. We will explore some of the important people and events and we will also hear some of the 'sounds' of the era. We will be looking at Canada's political, social, economical status as well as Canada's technological contributions. Don't miss it!

Religions We will be continuing to learn about Hinduism for the remainder of the week and then we will ease into our Buddhism unit. The Hinduism and Buddhism unit tests will be written at the same time. That will not be until the first week in November. I hope that you are taking home many thoughtful dinner-table conversations this week :)

Where Have You Been?

Kidding..... sorry I did not update this sooner, but I am in the process of learning how to link my markbook marks to this program.... in the meantime, here is what we are up to in my classes this week....


Canadian History Academic - This week we are continuing to learn about the First World War ! We are going to be writing letters home from the trenches and we will also be watching a little bit about what life in the trenches would have been like. We will be continuing to work on this unit next week as well.

World Religions - Well a unit test is a heck of a way to start a week! I hate giving tests on Mondays, but I was peer pressured by the students to have it on Monday instead of last Friday. Now that we have the Early Religions unit out of the way, we will be learning about some religions that will not be learned about in our 'major religions' units. Some of these religions include Scientology, Wicca and Rastafarianism! Fun!

Canadian History Applied - We are going to be writing letters home from the trenches and we will also be learning some more about what it was like to be in the trenches and on the home front during the First World War!
