Where we're at . . .

So what's going on in 7C now?
Here's a quick look:

Language Arts:
The students are in the middle of an independent novel study. All students are reading an historical fiction novel, and we will be working through a small project that will be do at the end of April.

Social Studies:
For those that came out to Greek Night, you know that we're studying Ancient Greece. There is so much to take in when looking at the Greek world of 2500 years ago. Students have looked at Homer's Iliad, the rise of city-states, major political figures in Athens, and now the rising conflict between Athens and Sparta. All students are also well on their way to creating Greek urns from paper-mache. (A long standing tradition at Surrey Christian.)

Math:
We are currently wrapping up a short geometry unit. We have looked at measuring circumference, classifying and measuring angles, and how angles are related (with transversals and parallel lines), and at triangles. Our quiz is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16.

Bible:
The Isrealites have returned from captivity in Babylon and are trying to rebuild Jerusalem. Facing many obstacles (famine, arguments, threat of invasion), they continue to struggle to follow the covenant layed out for them.

P.E.
Much to Mr. Bron's disappointment (why don't these kids love basketball?), the students are thoroughly enjoying our badminton unit. Vast improvements already. Do YOU know the new rules?

Everything else . . .
The band sounds great, I am getting good reports from Ms. Marissen (French), and everything else that fills our day is going well.
