Week of September 9-13


Hi Folks! 


Thanks for a great start to the 2019/2020 school year! 

As you know, Mr. Badr and I are both new to the TMC community, and as such, are still waiting to be connected to all of the sites... unfortunately, we have not yet acquired access to the School Messenger system and PowerSchool. Once that is all up, we will let you know and things will be a lot smoother. Fingers crossed it all happens early next week!

As of now, we've delved into our study of Worldview, taken a trip to Japan, and are in the midst of learning about why a country would want to isolate itself. By the end of the week, we will have starting talking about what makes a "scary" story (more-so suspense filled) and begin our work with Urban Legends.

Don't forget -- Thursday, Sept 12 we will be in Kananaskis taking part in our G8 "Summit"! Dress for the weather, come with extra snacks, and be prepared to have a ton of fun!

Thanks friends! This year is going to be a great one! 

#TeamBadLock for the win!!

-Mrs. Lockyer

Fraction Division Problems

Hello grade 8's, Here are a couple links to loads of practice problems (with solutions) for fraction division as well as the PDF link of the entire fractions chapter from the textbook.

A Final Message Before The Break

Hello 8's! We both just wanted to send out a final message. Since next week is spring break, we won't be receiving or replying to messages until Sunday, March 29. We have all been working hard over the past few months, so we encourage you to step away and relax. As we mentioned in our post from Monday, this past week was still a school week - albeit from home - but you are now officially on spring break. Powerschool has been updated with this week's assignments that were collected. If anything is reflecting as "missing" or "incomplete," that means that we have not received it. This could be a technical issue, but we encourage you to double check (You all know about Mr. Badr's frustration with some vanishing google doc shares) We know there is a lot of uncertainty about what is going to happen after the break. We can't answer your questions regarding that. Please keep an eye on your emails from the CBE and/or TMC School for messages on any u...
