Hello Everyone,

We had a good start back to school this week after some time off for thanksgiving. I hope that you enjoyed your break and that you are ready for the next chunk of time leading up to winter break. This week we talked about the Canadian election and some of the impacts that it has. We talked about the difference between first past the post and rep by pop styles of elections. We continued to work on the specific skills such a research and expression of ideas. We also worked on the importance of planning and organisation through not only your calligraphy project but also through the buoyancy project in math/science with Ms. Wilson. We talked about how critical thinking while creating and throughout the design process will help to catch many simple and normal errors that everyone makes. We also continued to discuss chapter 3 in the in textbook which focuses on Humanism. The key parts Humanism is that it is focus in Europe on the ability and the authority of humans to think about, devise and create things on their own without justifying it to any other greater authority. Please continue to work on your chapter work, chapter 3 workbook, and your vocabulary.
Have a great weekend.
