Science
Assigned By: Charlie Simmonds | SCIENCE: Students who were due to return a project to school can hold on to their projects until it is safe to bring them to school. In the meantime, please email me photos of your project for grading. This could be the last Science work of the year so it could very well boost your mark for the end of the year.
Please continue to check here for more updates on work that may be assigned. |
French
Assigned By: Charlie Simmonds | FRENCH: While students are away from class, they must continue to try to use and improve their French. How?
1. Read a book in French. If they don't have one at home they should get an online French book to read.
2. Listen to French music & watch YouTube videos of shows, etc. in French.
3. There are many online sources that can help students with grammar and writing. They'll need to search them out though.
4. Text their friends in French as that will help them keep everyday language current in their heads.
5. Chat with their friends/classmates over their cell phones in French.
These steps can help students stay connected to their classmates and the language they want to learn. |

Assigned By: Janet Critch | Good day everyone, as you know we have had to make some adjustments for the coming weeks. I have posted in google classroom announcing how this will effect our studies in Language Arts. In addition I have noticed that our password for google classroom has changed to : j7kspg3
If you have any question or concerns please email me at janetcritch@nlesd.ca
Book report: right now unless you have your book at home you are unable to complete this. A final decision on this will be made in the next week. So I would suggest that you focus on the writing booklet posted in Google classroom. Please contact if I can assist you in any manner.
