Welcome Back!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back!! So happy to see all of your faces today!

Like I mentioned, it's going to be a busy month! So, we want to make sure that we're focused during lessons, and also, staying on task when time is given in class to complete a task.

Today, both 8-1 and 8-2 were introduced to a few major ideas which led to the Renaissance movement. We chatted about the "glory days" of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, and began to understand what humanism is.

We also started in on our New Year's Writing Menu (NYWM), as well as chatted briefly about some of the expectations surrounding the Alternative Novel Study (aka: Book Report).

Important dates are as follows:

Thursday Jan 9 - Novel chosen! (you have time in Learning Commons Weds 01/08 to look)
Monday Jan 13 - 5 topics from NYWM (in your Hum Journals) **this is modified slightly from what was discussed today. I'm giving you extra time and 1 additional task to complete on the Menu.

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...
