Housekeeping: 

- I have added a new topic to the GC called: "Rubrics".  As the name suggests, it is a storehouse for current and past rubrics should you lose yours. 

- Book talks are due before the break.  Courtney and I have now conferenced with each student.  What can you do to help your child?  As them to deliver the following: the hook, the background, their points, their context/commentary, and their text to text connection.  Students should be re-reading their novels and selecting their points.  By "points", I mean they should be deciding "reasons for reading the novel".  If they are not convincing you to read this book, it won't go well!

- We are doing Secret Santa in our class.  If you want to make a gift, go for it!  You can even make a card and write a kind message.  If you wish to purchase a gift, the maximum is $10.00.

- We will be increasing our reading at home over the second term, so start looking around for good books to read!

Housekeeping : Man, I miss you guys!  Tomorrow, I will be sending a message to all parents via EDSBY which will include my office hours, how I will be teaching, and means of communicating with me.  Parents: through repeated efforts, I (with the help of some parents) discovered that when I send a group message via EDSBY, it's a one-way street; there is no way for parents to respond (kind of like a blog post).  As such, I will save Board-related messages for EDSBY, and daily work will be posted here on the blog.  You can always email me at marc.lemoine@yrdsb.ca any questions, and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.   KUDOS:  To everyone who respects social distancing QOTD:  "This should be over by March Break..." GOOD NEWS VIEWS: People around the world are taking a moment in the evening to cheer on our front line health care workers.  Video English: -  Math: -  Geography : -  French : -   -  Science : -  Heal
