The week of October 19th, 2020
HEADING TOWARD READING WEEK!!! WOO HOO! (or woo hoo, in 2020 language)
We hope you enjoyed the 2020 version of Thanksgiving, and last Tuesday’s PLC with the presentation by the Ontario College of Teachers and the Principals’ Panel featuring Carson Grove principal, Jeremy Nowiski and St. FX principal, Sean Kelly.
Weekly practicum placements are scheduled to begin on November 4th, the Wednesday after READING WEEK. Given the current situation, we are still waiting for confirmation of placements. But, we are all getting ready with letters of introduction and reading and understanding the Practicum Guide, right?
We are still waiting for your terrific KAHOOT questions for the great H/HH 3150 KAHOOT GAME on November 3rd. One multiple-choice question, 4 possible answers with one correct one for us to know. DUE: October 22nd. This is just for fun and KAHOOT is a great tool for kids. Categories: readings; popular culture (music, films, TV, literature, celebrities); sports; politics
Keep persevering through these challenging times. If ever you have questions or would like to have an on-line meeting, we are here for you as your faculty advisors.
