DEVOIRS

Dear Parents,
Thank you to all those who came out last night! It was a pleasure meeting/seeing you all, and I look forward to working with all of you throughout the year.
After having spent some time last night trying to figure out how to change the time of the email delivery I think I figured it out. Hopefully you will all be getting the email notification between        3-5pm (on the day I write it =)

All the students now have the username (Student #) and their password to log into the computers at school. This information will stay with them until the end of high school. It will also allow them to access all the google apps including google classroom. There will be one class for M. Konate and one for my class, in which all the students (who were here today) have already joined. From time to time there will be homework questions posted on google classroom. I understand that as parents you try to limit the screen time that you children have.  Please let me know if it will be an issue for them to use a computer or tablet occasionally to complete some work. Please feel free to email me anytime with any questions or concerns. jordan.mizrahi@yrdsb.ca

Good afternoon
Thank you to everyone who saw and  signed up for the blog yesterday
I apologize for not having completed my post earlier. As well the students
did not have time to write in their agendas today. Since I am only with the students
half the time, I am still learning my schedule and the best times to have the students
write down their homework and exchange their books in class.
 - Starting next week we will have a set time to go to the library to take out and exchange books
- I also have a large selection of books in the class that the students may take home and return.

- In language I will be completing various diagnostic reading comprehension, writing and oral
communication assessments to see where the students are at.
- In science we will be learning about soils in the environment
- In social studies (term 1) we will be learning about working and living in Ontario

A demain!
