In Flanders Fields
by Lieutenant Colonel John McRae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

This morning we had a fabulous presentation on Acids, Bases, and pH! Students got to mix household chemicals to observe colour-changing reactions. After that, they worked as a group to identify what chemicals were used with the help of a universal indicator chart. Students worked through a check in to decide on and compare probability of different events. They also had their last (for now) composer session in Music. In Social, they worked more on their Arctic notes. In Art, we continued our Monet-inspired Birch Trees by adding snow and shadows. They are looking extremely beautiful! Students had their Positive Choice reward time with the computers and we ended the day with our novel.
