A quick note...

Hello everyone,
We have been busy working on art, poetry, treaties, and concepts around stereotypes, identity, and poverty. Today we worked with the Slam Poetry artists Nicole Almond and Kevin Wesaquate. With them we spoke about treaties and watched the following videos:
Khodi Dill - Ottawa Festival
Geronimo
The students contributed to discussions about these poems and then created their own mini slam poem. What we got to hear today was a real treat. We have some very talented slam poetry artists in the making.

We still need newspaper food flyers. If you have some, please send them to school.

We will also attend an art workshop at the Mendel Art Gallery, on Monday, February 4th. We will be there all day, and students will need to pack a lunch. We will leave the school at 9:00 am and return by 3:00pm.

Please scroll down to the google calendar at the bottom of the blog. I have added dates that pertain to our class. There are several important dates coming up in February. I included basketball play days for the senior girls' basketball team, but have not yet completed that for the boys team. The boys have games the same days, but I'm not sure of where they are. I plan to find out, and add that to the calendar.

Have a great night everyone.
