It was a busy and musical start to the day! While the students made their way to the library to visit with Mme. Gammel, Mme. Van Bemmel and I made our way to each of the school's grade 7 classes to drum up support and recruit students to help out with Sports Day. Midway through library, the class made their way down to the gym to take in a concert by a local Jazz trio. We returned from the musical presentation shortly before recess, just in time to grab a quick snack. When the class returned we mapped out what lays ahead for us in our final 5 weeks of class, and I distributed the students each a hard copy of the proposed June schedule to take home (posted below). Once that was taken care of, the class was given the challenge of finishing their reading of Chapter 7 of the Breadwinner, and finding their vocabulary and writing a summary. The goal was to be done in time, so that we could head outside for a quick game of kickball, but the majority of the class were still working we they were dismissed for lunch. Following the lunch break, the class was given an hour to find others to play board games with. I was impressed to see usual groups of friends split up and join other classmates to play. With about 40 minutes left in our day, we cleaned up and did the Rainbow Dash drawing lesson that is featured on our Student Gallery and Art page.
