Homework:

1. No Homework!!!

Students have worked very hard completing their Native reports and we spent the day doing a cooperative learning activity that encompassed all areas of the curriculum. Students had to create a futuristic desk that they could sell to the York Region District School Board in the 22nd century. They had to sell, create, brainstorm, advertise and modify this desk to meet the needs of students and teachers. Students were able to work cooperatively in groups to increase their social skills.
