Today's Quote:
 |
| A BLESSING FOR THE INTERIM TIME When, near the end of day light has drained out of life, and it is too soon for the mind of night to have darkened to things, no place looks like itself. Loss of outline makes everything look strangely in between, unsure of what has been or what might come. In this wan light even trees seem groundless. In a while it will be night but nothing here seems to believe the relief of dark. You are in this time of the interim where everything seems withheld. The path you took to get here has washed out. The way forward is still concealed from you. The old is not old enough to have died away, the new is still too young to be born. You cannot lay claim to anything in this place of dusk. Your eyes are blurred and there is no mirror. Everyone else has lost sight of your heart and you can see nowhere to put your trust. You know you have to make your own way through. As far as you can, hold your confidence. Do not allow your confusion to squander this call which is loosening your roots in false ground, that you might become free of all you had outgrown. What is being transfigured here is your mind and it is difficult and slow to become you. The more faithfully you can endure here, the more refined your heart will become for your arrival in the new dawn. ~ John O'Donohue |
RECAP:
Friday found the biology classes using the computer lab to complete IXL target areas and Quizlet activities. Parents are reminded that these ARE HOMEWORK assignments and students are expected to complete them as part of the class. Parents are also reminded that every teacher holds Power Hour for students to come in for extra help, however, the student needs to be responsible and request to attend. We have now finished up the unit on Flowers and plants and will be moving into genetics. Earth space science finished up Stars and are not working on the solar system.
Entry Task/ Brain Bender:
Wolfgang emigrated from East Germany and settled in Toronto three years ago. Wolfgang, who barely spoke English, was determined to earn enough money to send for his wife. He was a baker by profession,, and after two years of working two jobs, seven days a week, he finally owned his own store. Although his English was broken, he always had a good word, and a joke. One morning, a delivery man found Wolfgang lying on the floor of his bakery, dead. His right hand held a small gun. A letter and a suicide note lay nearby. The letter said his wife was killed in an auto accident in Germany. Shadow, who was a regular customer at the bakery, picked up the note and read, "I had almost attained my goal of reunification with my wife. Now, it will be sooner than I thought. I have lost my will to live."This was no suicide, "declared Shadow "This was murder." Why?
