Morris students in our Gr. 11 Family Studies class are getting a little taste of what parenthood could look like by adopting some Egg Babies for the week! Students were tasked with taking care of a very delicate, very unboiled egg from Monday to Friday of this past week. Every student decorated their egg with a face, hair, clothes, etc. and had to carry their baby around with them wherever they went in a secure “car seat”. Some students choose to have their babies in “Egg-Care” (at 5 cents an hour), while others brought their babies everywhere they went. Students were to base their days on specific scenarios that was given to them by Mrs. Lucier. Some days were smooth and easy, while other days they had an extremely fussy Egg Baby that did not let them get any sleep! We have many students who made it through the week with their Eggs still intact, while a few others had some Egg-cidents! Good Job, Mavs! You made it through the whole week and all did an awesome job! Check out some of the students with their Egg Babies! Grade 7/8 Post-Hobbit assignment gets creativeGrade 7/8s are completing their "Thorin Poster" assignments in ELA. After reading The Hobbit, the students were challenged to demonstrate their knowledge of the character Thorin Oakenshield: his history, personality, motivation, relationships, and how he changes. Although The Hobbit centers around Bilbo Baggins, Thorin is a very central character to the story as he is the catalyst for the entire adventure. He embarks on a quest to win back his kingdom of old from the clutches of the evil dragon, Smaug. Here are some examples of student work. march madness crowns a championThanks to all those who participated in the MORRIS MAVERICKS 1st Annual MARCH MADNESS BRACKET CHALLENGE!
