Welcome to History!

As we start history this term, I want you to keep in mind that history is not simply the regurgitation of facts and dates -- it's about evaluating evidence, identifying bias, perspective and voice. It's about critical thinking! 

Enjoy the weekend!

Welcome back!

Hi Grade 7s,

I'm updating the homework on our homepage (just for today). Remember to regularly check the math/geography/language tabs for homeworkupdates.

For math tonight, I want you to visually represent how you solve the question, "2/3 + 1/2" using pattern blocks that you can draw out to communicate to your peers.

For language I want you to finish up your draft for the news letter that will go home. Remember to include:

1. An introduction to LSG and what we did.
2. How did you enjoy the experiences? What did you learn and how do they tie in to the curriculum?
3. Reasons as to why next years grade 7s should go.

Thanks!

-Mr. Charalambous

Lake St. George

Hi Grade 7s,

I've uploaded the a list of things you'll need for Lake St George on Monday. I'd also like to suggest that you bring either slippers of indoor running shoes for the cabins and don't forget to bring some quarters for the pay phone to call your parents!

See you Monday!
