Here we are, already two weeks into the semester.  We have one week of school, from February 14th to 18th, before students have a one week holiday while teacher attend professional improvement.  School resumes on Monday, February 28.  Here's what's happening in classes this week:

Students will continue working on their children's stories on Monday and Tuesday.  On Wednesday, we begin studying the Miriam Toews novel, A Complicated Kindness.  The novel study will involve writing personal and critical responses to text, reading group discussions, and a final critical/analytical essay.

Students are studying and practicing visual response, as well as writing children's literature.  On Friday, we'll have a test on visual response.

Have a great week, everyone.
