Grade 8 Religion

We continued our discussion activity for our first unit.  Students continued to consider "expectations" and answered the following questions:
  • What do you expect from parents, teachers, friends, God?
  • What do (parents, teachers, friends, God) expect of you?
  • What do you expect of yourself?
Students came up with great answers for all of these that would make you proud!

We then discussed the following questions and will continue during next class:
  • What are expectations?
  • How do they arise?
  • Are all expectations realistic?  Explain.
A great discussion for the dinner table!

Grade 7 Social Studies

Students finished watching the video The Challenges of Change

Terry Fox Run
