I can't believe that this Semester is ending all ready. We have been so busy and the time has flown by.
Our advisory class is a fun and crazy mix. Sometimes the boys are a little rambunctious, and the girls are a little giggly; but they are all smart and teach me fabulous things. We are finishing up the third project cycle this week. Next week we are doing a short book cover on an advisory topic of their choice which should be fun. We had to sneak in a 4th project because we simply ran out of time.
Next Semester is a little bit longer and our days will be organized much better. We will have more time in advisory which will be wonderful! I love spending time with my Advisory Class!
Next Friday will be our Fun Food Friday with our Favorite Holiday Treat. It is always a great way to end our project cycle and reward the class for a job well done.
This project cycle has had some interesting themes. One day we had presentations on Japanese Internment Camps, The Atomic Testing Site, and World War II. They all complimented each other and we ended up getting a more complete picture of the war and the effects of the atomic bombs. My mother lived in Southern Utah at the time of the atomic bomb testing and later died of cancer which was a direct result of being downwind from the testing facility in Nevada. I'm grateful that my students were able to make a connection with the testing of the bomb, the treatment of the Japanese, and ending the war with the devastating effects of the atomic bombs in Japan. We were able to watch a BBC video which showed actual footage of the bombings and interviews with some of the men involved.
On a lighter note we learned about DC Comics and Lego. Then we got an in depth look at climate change in Australia, Greek Culture, Muslim and Christian religions.
Hopefully today we will be able to finish our presentations, but we have only been getting through three or four a day, so it may run into next week. I'm looking forward to next Semester when hopefully we can finish our presentations in one week!
I'm wishing my advisory students, their families, and our EKA staff a very happy holiday season! Enjoy your time off and come back ready to WORK!
