Hello 8-3 and 8-4.
As mentioned, here are the slides from our brief science discussion today. Please take the time to refer to previous notes if there were any Kahoot questions that you struggled with today.
Science Notes from Feb 21
Reminder that the eye activity is due on Monday and there is a quiz on the multiplication of fractions on Wednesday. As usual, I will be available for additional support Monday at lunch.
Have a great weekend.

Hums Feb 21st
So we started exploring the MLA citation style in preparation for the big research position paper that we'll be starting next week. Most of you should have a list of 3 Renaissance figures you are interested in exploring a bit further before picking one to serve as the subject of you paper but if you don't, make sure you have them picked out for Monday.
We're nearing the end of Animal Farm. It's been a heck of a ride so far. We've had a lot of really good discussions about the rise of totalitarianism and how a society can let itself fall into that sort of trap. We should be wrapping it up next week.
Last thing I wanted to touch on is an article I found that expands on the current events discussion we were having around the railroad blockades that have paralyzed shipping across the country. It is an interview with one of the Wet'suwet'en matriarchs who is opposed to the protests. I think it does a good job of underscoring just how complicated the issue is and why it has been so challenging to find a solution.
Link to Globe and Mail article.
Saturday and Sunday are the strongest days.
Because Monday to Friday are week days.
Have a great weekend!

Science Test Homework
Hello families of 8-3 and 8-4 students.
They are coming home this evening with their latest science test. Their homework is to walk through the test with you and have you sign it. I'm looking to expand my autograph collection :-)
I have also asked them to write a short reflection on the back of the test.
I want to know:
1) What they did well and what contributed to their success.
2) If they did not do as well as they hoped, what could they have done to improve their mark?
3)What could I have done to better support their learning during this unit.
I have also placed a link on the right hand side of the blog to edquest. This website is a great supporting resource to the units we are covering this year.
