Update: Tuesday March 31

Hi Friends!

Thank you to those who have e-mailed us their responses - we are reading them and are very happy to hear, that for the most part, you are all keeping well. Please, if you need anything, do not hesitate to reach out to either of us.

If you have not yet sent in your response to the yesterday's blog post, please do so, as it helps us understand how we can best support you. And, it confirms that we have a communication line with you.

At this time, we would like to invite you all to "chat" with us via a Google Meet tomorrow, Wednesday April 1, at 10:30am. We will send the code shortly before the meet-up.

Also, here's a quick update on what to expect going forward:

On average, you can expect to have 10 hours of work each week. This will be a combination of your core subjects (Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies).  Our plan is to post a "Week at a Glance" every Sunday night in preparation for the upcoming week.

The following 3 platforms will be used as mediums to support your learning: 

1. Brightspace by D2L: as a sort of virtual homeroom (refer to the tutorial narrated by Mrs. MacNicolhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/17019J4d9-cD4yoUGDXryUZsjYFEiAsBR/view) 

2. Google Classroom/Drive/Meet: (refer to consent letter sent to your parents via Messenger today from Mr. R as well as the PDF posted in Drive)

3. Classroom BlogsAs always, the blogs are a useful tool for us to send out quick messages so make sure you keep checking them regularly. 

As for what the next couple weeks are going to look like, we suspect that a lot of the first few days are going to be just reconnecting and sorting out various technology issues. We will have some basic tasks for you to complete as well.

This is going to be a learning experience for all of us in more ways than one, so we to appreciate your patience. We're sure we'll also be able to answer a lot of your questions via the "chat" tomorrow. If you're not able to make it, no worries, we will record the session and post it later. 

Ciao for now!
- Mr. Badr and Mrs. Lockyer

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
