Today in 6A!

ENGLISH: Students wrote their Chapter 3 Grammar and Unit 10 Vocabulary test. Next week will be Unit 11 Vocabulary. We are nearing the end of our grammar and vocabulary lessons (Unit 15) which means our students will be strictly applying what they have learned with more and longer writing pieces in trimester 3.

RELIGION: Our first week of Family Life came to a close with our quiz today.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students explored Confucius' teachings and early life. We understand him in contrast to the "Legalist" perspective where the rule of law needed to be strict, absolute, and severe in punishment. Confucius believed that the answer to this approach was love and Filial Piety. Honoring our elders and their wishes will lead to harmony and the example shown by our elders will determine how well we are doing to create this moral and just society. I know I have taken a similar approach in my parenting style, and I shared some examples with the students. Homework, to be taken up on Tuesday, is on page 310 #1-5.
