Interims are coming

Thanks for your continued patience and understanding.  Ms Snodden will have your interims tomorrow.  The rest of your work will be coming soon.

PS William, I think you took your interim home without giving it back to me to fill out.  I don't have yours.

Interim update

Dear students and parents / guardians,

I apologize that I will not be able to get the interim reports out to you Friday October 11 as originally planned.  I will make sure that they are at school for you on Tuesday.  My initial recovery this week has been slower than I expected.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Parents - Ms Snodden will be running the parent -teacher conferences this week and I know she would love to meet you to discuss your child's progress this semester.

Students - spoke to Ms. Snodden today and she says you are all doing great!  Keep up the good work!  We both appreciate it!

Innovation Week Proposal Due Friday

Please remember that your innovation week proposal needs to be handed in to your homeroom teacher no later than this Friday (Oct. 11).  Those of you who do not have a junior (Gr. 8-10) homeroom teacher can hand their proposal in to me.  If you plan on using the Foods room you need to hand your proposal in to Mr. Tong rather than your homeroom teacher.  Let's get creative!!!

Short Story Terms Test & Rhetoric Reminder

This is just a reminder that tomorrow is your short story terms test.  Be sure to study!  Also, please remember to post a link or video to your group blog that will help the class understand what rhetoric is.

Thanks Ben for the update on Caine's Arcade... Makes me wonder if anyone will try to make their own  cardboard arcade or something else for Innovation Week :)

I found this while browsing Reddit. Thought you would be interested.

This is an "AMA" (Ask me anything). Posted by the filmmaker who made Caines arcade.

Usually responses on this type of thing may typically take 1 day, to 1 week, but you never know, you may get lucky! Also, the Cardboard Challenge is hosted this Saturday! Unfortunately there is nothing being hosted in our area to the most of my knowledge. Although if you read this, why not try it out? There is always a chance you might have fun and find a new hobby!
