Humanities: Recap + Pi Day

Hi Friends!

Good work today! Most of you are progressing nicely and wrapping up those essays! You're also well underway with the Influential Figure representations. Well done. Most of us made it out of class safely without any glue gun burns... ;)

To recap, today we went over how to properly embed quotations into our writing.  Remember, we are aiming for fluidity in our writing and don't want to see anything "floating" where it shouldn't be. Focus on those transition words and remember the sandwich - claim, quote, explanation.

*Please reference the slides from the lesson (posted in each class' Google Share folder) as an anchor/resource.

Also, Pi Day is on Friday. Yum. Let's try and be environmentally conscious and remember to bring in a reusable (camping, plastic...) plate and fork. You can wash everything up at the sink afterwards, but we'd really like to eliminate the amount of waste, which is why we're asking.

Thats all for now! The countdown is on until Spring Break!!

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...
