'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:)]
