New Page, New Projects and Mono Cliffs

A couple of brief notes:

1. I have reorganized my site slightly to make finding new links easier, especially the new Human Body Project. Hopefully, you find this helpful. I'll continue to do this as new content streams are added.

2.  Links on the Science page lead to question sheets for each group to answer. Some groups may have more questions than others, but hopefully the work balances out since the questions will help guide more specific responses. I'm finding http://kidshealth.org/kid/ a useful starting point for research.

3. Today we watched a video and answered student questions about Mono Cliffs, our class trip coming up on November 28th. If parents have questions, please do email me at lisa.goegan@tdsb.on.ca and I'll do my best to answer them directly. Forms and money are due tomorrow, however; so hopefully you've managed to find the answers you need already and apologies if you've found the process challenging: this will be my first year at Mono Cliffs as well.

This has been an excellent, if busy, week in the classroom. I'm looking forward to our dramatic presentation of In Flanders Fields tomorrow at the Remembrance Day Assembly and to seeing many of you during interviews after school on Thursday and Friday morning next week. I'll be sending home scheduled times with reports. Thanks to those of you who have sent forms in already with preferences, it does help me when I'm scheduling.

All my best,

Ms. Goegan
