Remembrance Day Ceremony

The Remembrance Day Assembly was today.  We had presentations from each homeroom class as well as Special Recognition for Brother Hugh Message and A Special Tribute to Brother Edwin Dodd, a Top Gun Fighter Pilot in the 50s.  Our class sang a song called "Thank you, Soldiers" by Michael and Angela Sounders.  Good job to everyone!


I am not sure about the clicks and flashes of light and apologize it is not better quality. 
Thank you to all our veterans and soldiers who have given their lives to make our countries what they are today.

Fur Trade Guest

Our class was so lucky today! What a great day! Not only was it hot lunch day and casual day and Miss Leonard's "unbirthday". BUT we also had amazing guest speaker!

Miss Roy came to our class this afternoon as a fur trader's wife. She talked to us about everything to do with the fur trade--from Fort St. James to copper kettles. 

We now know all about trapping, hunting, ink pens, china, embroidery, and trade beads.



She told us about tanning hides and wearing corsets.





Thank you sooo much Miss Roy for sharing your knowledge and interests with us!


A Handsome Escort.

Leaf Collections on Display


Our Leaf Collections have been turned in, graded, and are no displayed in the main entryway of BCA.  The students did a great job and the collections look great! God put so much beautiful variety in nature. I loved looking at all the beautiful colours and shapes of the leaves turned in.
Joseph's leaf collection.

Proud of their projects.


On display. Check out the nice display signs made by members of our class!

This week we finished the book I Am David.  After we finished it, we watched the movie.  While we watched, we ate some snacks like popcorn, salt and vinegar chips, jelly beans, tortilla chips...etc.

During the movie, the door opened.  Somebody with her husband came in.  This person who walked in is awesome, wonderful, great, terrific, and marvelous, plus brilliant.  Her name is MRS. Leonard--Miss Leonard's mom.  If you haven't met her, yet.  You should!
