EQAO Update and Other Random Items

Hello all!

Today we started our EQAO testing!  We wrote the first segment this morning, which was dedicated to reading and writing.  Tomorrow AM we will write part 1 of the Math component, followed by Part 2 of the Language section.  There are 4 total Language sections and 2 Math.  We will be writing over the next few days, and should have every section complete by Tuesday.  The kids were very focused and positive, and I could not be more proud! 

We are reading the novel Underground to Canada right now, and are on Chapter 4.  The book is a heavy read, but a necessary one.  We have discussed slavery at great length and I hope to foster an overall interest in the oppression of all peoples this year through the unit we studied earlier this year on the Holocaust and now this unit on slavery.  Piquing an interest in history is so important in developing a moral concious and a future opportunity in the leadership of social justice issues.

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."
-George Santayana

Here are some photos of your beautiful children!
