Mini enrichment

How do you register for courses for mini enrichment? I don't have my user-name or password and I thought that the registering date is Monday!!!!!

Food Bank

Hey everyone I just wanted to bring to the attention of the class the food bank and our learning's in being more empathetic. I know we have talk about how it's not a competition its helping others. We have to look into someone else's perspective who goes to the food bank. If we were to look at their view you would see how they have their struggles and how they need the food bank so they can continue to try and find jobs or other things.


Here is the food bank Ottawa official website: Food Bank

I see it as it's fun to win and try and beat other classes (8F) but we have to think about the competition as more of a minor thing and think more about the people who actually need help the most important thing.

"Everyone is smart, just in different ways"

Hi guys. I just can't let this one go. This quote from class (Thx. Vivian) on Thursday has been floating around in my head since then. The way you all connected it to the purpose of grades, achievement and student self esteem was brilliant.  Does anyone care to restate or elaborate on their comments from class?

Word of The Day (practice)

Here are the previous practice words:

and a word of the day archive.

Good evening class. :)

So you know how M. O'Brien said if we wanted to up our mark on the geography test, we could find a article and I just wanted to know what exactly we were supposed to do with the article. I didn't understand what he said, it was in french and he was talking fast... LAWL. I think he said ask write and answer your own questions, but I just want some clarification. Also, the article was supposed to be about immigration, right? :/

Thanks, Claire

Cool Video

Hi everyone yes I am posting again but I came across this real strong empowering video on Youtube. In our class we may have students who may have seen this video before but I thought that it should be reviewed.

Here is the link: LINK

I personally think that it's its a lesson on perseverance because it shows how all theses famous icons were brought down by others and achieved great milestones in history. This just shows us all how no matter how bad the situation we can all get through it and succeed in our goals.
