So glad that Registration Day is done. It was exhausting for the teachers (nice day off, kiddos) but really great to get it all accomplished.
Grade 10 IB students are done their Amazing Race. Congratulations to the winners: first place, $5 gift card for the caf (thanks, Ms. Laurie!); second place, 5 day guilt-free extension (courtesy of me!) Next up is The Book Thief for day 1 students, with blogging, and Media Literacy for day 2 students, focusing on Social Networking. Do YOU send 1500 texts a month?
Grade 11 TOK students are starting to grapple with "truth". Just a simple, non-complicated concept. Did you know that the meaning originated with "tree"? Look it up; really interesting. We will be watching "The Truman Show" as we get ready to meet Rene Descartes. Time to climb back up the slippery slope!
Diploma students will receive training for the Extended Essay in April, followed by a visit to the University of Winnipeg library in May. They'll then be set up to begin writing in the summer. Yep, that's right, the summer!
