Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school, everyone!  Hope your holidays were pleasant and restful and you're all ready to  dig in to the final three weeks of the semester!

**A Big Reminder that the Social Studies Celebration of Learning/Heritage Fair takes place on Friday, January 21.  The school will be open for viewing of projects from 1:30 to 3 p.m.  Parents and community members are welcome to attend!

For the week of January 4-7:

Socials 30/33:
Tuesday and Friday are project days.  Wednesday and Thursday will be reserved for work on the final Module.

Note:  For those students writing the exam, which is optional, Part A is Thursday, January 13 at 9 a.m.

English 30-2:
We will be working on poetry, poetic terms, and short stories this week, before moving on to exam preparation on Thursday and Friday.  Part A of the Departmental Exam is on Wednesday, January 12 at 9 a.m.  This exam is NOT optional, and is worth 50% of the course mark.

Socials 10-1:
We will be discussing Government and Politics this week.  Students will begin working on their final assessment projects (in place of a final exam), which involves creating and promoting their own political parties before hosting a democratic election next week.  Look for specific project details in a future blog post.

Have a great week everyone, and a healthy and happy 2011!
