Mr. Redican's Last Day is Tomorrow

Click on the image to watch the Novel Approach in Action!

Today the students in division two had all sorts of fun.  They finished their social studies inquiry projects, sung in the boys and girls choir respectively, got read an amazing book (Cloudwalker), had a science assessment, and played dodge ball.  Phew, that's a full day!  The students did a very good job and with their inquiry projects and it was great to see how much they had learned.  When Mr. Redican first introduced Kinder Morgan to the class 3 weeks ago - no one had any idea what he was talking about.  After weeks of researching and many rich class discussions the students can now intelligently talk about this project and more importantly voice their opinion about it. Wether you're for the pipeline, against it, or indifferent does not matter, but what does matter is having the ability to back up your position with a solid argument based on facts.
