Exploratories:
The students have been enjoying their exploratory classes on Friday afternoons. Today is the last class for this session, with the next round happening in May. It has been wonderful to see the students having so much fun participating in a variety of activities including cooking, taking the babysitting course, making skim boards, playing strategic boardgames, learning about photography, and creating jewelry.
Visitng Japanese Students:
Last Thursday, we had a group of Japanese students visit our school and spend the afternoon teaching the class origami and how to write in Japanese. The students made a variety of projects including paper cranes, flowers, and airplanes. The Japanese students also sang a traditional song for us.
Learning with Microscopes:
Yesterday, the class visited the high school biology lab for a special lesson on using a microscope. The students were partnered with grade 11 students and were able to look at some pretty cool things under the microscopes including and onion skin, hair, and a cheek cell.
