Today we watched a bit of the movie "God Grew Tired of Us" which is about the lost Boys of Sudan. It is a very powerful movie, and the kids were spellbound, for the most part. We were watching for examples of culture, culture traits, acculturation, and how one's culture changes when one's life is so incredibly altered. They saw that what we take for granted, like running water and electricity, are new and mysterious to people from a different culture.
A few kids will be coming home with an assignment that needs to be "fixed". We did an open-book, fill-in-the-blank assignment over Chapter 3, Section 1 this week. It was assigned on Tuesday and corrected on Thursday. If your child did not get a passing grade +12/20, they received a new copy to do over the weekend. If you would like your child to re-do the assignment, I have extra copies, they just need to ask.
Have a groovy weekend,
Cathy
