SPRING BREEEAAAAAAKKKK!!!!

I can't really emphasize enough how super-excited I am about Spring Break! It's not that I don't just love marking for hours and hours each weekend, or prepping all my lessons every night, or spending my free time watching World War II videos, or reading new English essays, because I do love that ... I do!  And of course, I will miss the classes - truly - two weeks without your smiling faces will be tough. But, if I can get over that, I will enjoy sleeping in and cleaning my house and cooking some gourmet meals. I also plan to watch Schindler's List, the Pianist, and 13 Days. Don't forget that you need to watch some World War II movies as well for your Spring Break movie response assignment due April 4th. 

As for our class, should you have missed it, we covered a lot last day:

• we noted how Globe and Mail readers chose their cover of VE Day as the most memorable front page in their 170 year history; 
• we read an article and looked at some CNN footage about the Russian occupation of the Crimea and the possible economic sanctions being threatened by the G7 ( and Prime Minister Harper, who was speaking in Vancouver.) 
• you wrote down a list of Key Terms for studying the Cold War and
• we viewed a power point about the Cold War and tensions between the USSR and the US from 1945-1991.
• we also had great contributions from Tianna about Japanese Internment and Maddie about Anne Frank house. Great information, girls. Thank you so much!

I wish you all a Happy Spring Break! Yippee! Happy Dance!
