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...

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...

Eye Dissection Video

Hello Grade 8's! I'm really sorry we didn't get to do our eye dissection this week. I know that a lot of you were looking forward to it. In the meantime, I wanted to share this video of a dissection of a cow's eye. The video goes through all of the same parts of a dissection that we would have in class. The only difference, however, is that we of course would be wearing much more protective safety gear in our classroom (gloves, aprons, goggles). CLICK HERE Mr. Badr
