Week of Oct 21 - 25

Hi All!

This week, we will be wrapping up our Urban Legend podcasts. As some of us experienced today, working with Garage Band and iMovie can sometimes create a bit of frustration...

Goals for Friday (Oct 25), are to have AT LEAST an audio recording DONE and uploaded into  Google Drive. Some people finished everything today (good on ya!) This might require others of you to record on your own time.

We'll also be starting our Exhibit inquiries this week. Everyone found out today which Japanese time periods they'll be researching -- further instruction will be given Weds/Thurs.

Reminder that by Friday afternoon, all three documents (Edo Expert articles + Meiji + Change is Coming) in the Google Share folders, are to be read. Based on what we've covered in class, notes, and now your additional readings, everyone should be able to confidently describe the changes that occurred during Edo, as well as, provide pertinent details on what led to the Meiji Restoration.

...There just might be an in-class task for you to respond to on Monday, Oct 28. *smiley face

If you have any questions, come see me.

-Mrs. Lockyer

April 2 - Looking Ahead

Hello everyone! It's been wonderful to see that so many students are logging on to D2L! We've been noticing students looking at the Light and Optics slides and working on their writing prompts, so good work! Tomorrow, we are going to have our first Friday class meeting on Google Meet at 10am . An invite code will be sent to your webmail at 9:55am. It is expected that you attend - barring technical difficulties. This meeting will be a little bit longer than our usual meetings since we are still getting up and running. Two main topics we will cover in this meeting: Tutorial on how to submit assignments from Drive on D2L How to take the Practice Quiz (Tomorrow) and the Science Test (Monday) One question we had yesterday was about what Mrs. Thornborough is going to do with Band . We talked to her today and she said that she would set up a webpage with an optional weekly activity for Band students to do in order to further their learning and skills. This is NOT a cours...

Tips for Online Calls

Hi Again! In preparation for our online "chat" - and as we begin to get used to this being our new "norm" - I've created a short slideshow (...with my face on every slide ahah!) going through some basic info regarding Google Meet. 😃 Please review prior to logging in, so that you are aware of what to expect. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1StEks4y2DWUwFoK8maxESvcRdFP1skM_7gVDu7bwLC4/edit?usp=sharing Have a great evening! -Mrs. Lockyer

Hi Guys, Our hallways were left like this at the end of the day... Not cool. Why should the facilities operators be cleaning up after this?! We also found the piece of lead used to create this not-so creative design, on a table, in my classroom... Just wanted to toss it out there and remind folks, that we need to treat our learning environment with respect . We've had a number of incidents this week, including inappropriate use of technology, swearing in the halls, pushing/physically harassing others, and destruction of school property. This is not how Grade 8s ought to behave... You're better than this. Tomorrow's a new day. -Mrs. Lockyer
