Sixteen

Sixteen. Not that I'm counting.

Today Andrew came in for his regular weekly slot. The students worked on their ukulele skills and are gearing up to lead the school in song one morning.

We finished up our civilization game. Students were divided up into nomadic tribes and were lead through a series of scenarios. To start, each tribe had to describe the parcel of land they decided to settle on. Other rounds had them using available resources to build shelters, forage for food, solve waste issues, cultivate civilizations, and solve issues of potential battles.

There is a double sided field trip form in the students' bags. One side is for a trip to the National Art Gallery next Thursday. I will need two volunteers for this trip. We will be seeing the Van Gogh exhibit. The other side is to continue with our morning runs as we did in the fall. Please sign both sides and send in a cheque (made payable to Churchill Alternative School) for $5 as soon as possible.

Tomorrow at lunch we will be having an extra School of Rock practice with the student band and the ukulele club. Alan Neal from CBC's All In A Day program will be there to record some sound bites. It is an optional practice. I have the names of two students who do not have permission to be interviewed. If you have concerns about this, please let me know. Thank you!
