Light and Optics Unit Review

March 15 Update: Since the Alberta government has cancelled all classes for the following week, you will of course not be writing the science tomorrow. You will still be writing it at some point in some form, possibly when all students return to class or as a take-home test. Please check the blog and your emails for updates for when that decision is made.

Hello grade 8's!

Pi day was definitely eventful today and we may have seen the start of the Badr vs. Lockyer war... Payback will be on its way.

I know all of your team sports have been cancelled so that should provide ample more studying time. To prepare you should review:

Stay clean, wash your hands, spend time with your family at home and if you are not feeling well on Monday, stay home.

Mr. Badr

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...

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...
