Lesson 9

 

Today we opened with a debrief of the Terry Fox Run and questions about Grade 8 Retreat, before we continued "Ideal Community" work.

Students can take a break from classwork to focus on their retreat time (and arrange to meet up with group mates for tutorials etc. starting on Thursday.

Please see the daily schedules, groups, and bus numbers below. 

NOTE: Many students were unable to figure out where their name was in alpha order, other than by first letter. This would be beneficial teaching/review at home - think dictionary drills!
