Homework:
Enjoy your weekend
Notes:
Today was noted as Fruesday because it was a Friday that we followed a Tuesday schedule. Our class had a good time creating our own day of the week!
In English today, we watched the documentary Chasing Shackleton done by PBS. This was done to supplement our excerpt that we read about Ernest Shackleton yesterday. The series follows a crew of five intrepid explorers led by renowned adventurer, scientist and author Tim Jarvis as they re-create Shackleton’s epic sea-and-land voyage in a replica of the original explorers’ boat, using only the tools and supplies his team used. Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Trans-Antarctic Expedition, which launched in 1914, met with disaster when his ship The Endurance was crushed by arctic ice and sank. His heroic leadership in the face of almost certain death saved the lives of 27 men stranded in the Antarctic for more than 500 days, and has inspired explorers and leaders across every continent over many generations.
