Seven more school days after today, but who's counting...
Period One: ELA 9
After some silent reading, we reviewed the format for writing a proper letter. Students then started a Christmas letter writing assignment. The draft of their letters are due for tomorrow.
Period Two/Three: ELA 20
Period Two was in the Computer Lab typing their Autobigraphies. Period Three saw a discussion of the poems read on Friday, "Before Two Portraits of My Mother" and "Graduation Evening". This was a good discussion; several good interpretations and ideas came up.
Period Four: History 30
We started by reviewing the events/occurences surrounding the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences. We then discussed some of the external forces which helped lead us down the path to Confederation. Students were given a small assignment and extending activity to complete in regards to todays material. The assignment is due for tomorrow while the extensions will be due on Thursday.
Period Five: Math 7
The Unit Reviews were collected. We then looked at time zones around the world, and the differences in time being similar to integers. A small assignment was given using time zones as integers.
Period Six: ELA 10
In conjunction with a reading entitled "Letters from Vietnam", students completed a series of pre - reading and during reading activities. Once the letters had all been read, a couple of post - writing activities were assigned for tomorrow.
Period Seven: Math 7
A Practice Test was given on Unit Two material. The real test will be on Friday.

About Me
- Mr.Morin
- Originally from Weyburn, SK, I was born with a passion for sports. Unfortunately a lack of talent has lead me to make a fantastic career choice, that being teaching History and English which I currently do at Norquay School in Norquay, SK. I am married to a wonderful woman, Breanna, who not only allows me to watch sports on a seemingly endless basis, but she has even started to take a general interest in most major sports. While her preference for teams leaves a little to be desired, I still think its pretty awesome that I can spend Sunday afternoons watching NFL football WITH my wife! We are also fortunate to have two fantastic children, Kylie, born in December of 2009 and Kruze, born in August of 2011.
