Week Two

Week Two is already over. That would be 20% of the first marking period completed already. Time does not seem to be dragging on. This might be because we have been so busy.

Every morning students watch CNN 10, a down the middle new program for students, and answer questions based on the daily news. Friday's CNN News also includes a "week-in-review" news quiz.

The morning routine also includes The Pledge of Allegiance. The Green Team - the students are split into two academic groups - has also been studying flag etiquette. The Green Team presents the flag and folds it after the Pledge to the flag.

During the day, students participate in Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and Life Skills. Other activities include group meetings and gym class.

Size Mismatch?

On Friday, some of the students volunteered to help with the set-up for the kick-off meeting of GO Mount Carmel. GO Mount Carmel is a community revitalization initiative in partnership with Bucknell University.
