To the English, Socials, and CLE Classes (2019-2020),
First off, please help me find a better name for us. We aren't the "Class of 2020," as that name is typically reserved for the graduating group.
Folks, thank you for the hard work, patience, and resilience that you have shown not just in Term 3, but throughout the year. It is important to note that while April - June tested our strength and capacity, it does not define our year. Looking back at the pictures posted to this online homework board, I am reminded that our year was so much more. Earlier this week, I went through your letters to the teacher/ cue cards from September. I hope some of the worries you shared at the beginning of the year dissolved, as we became more familiar with the routines and expectations of the class. And I know that if I reviewed your first papers and assignments, we'd see a lot of growth there, as well.
Grade 10 English: On Friday, there'll be a video posted to the Portal Blog, where I comment in more specific terms as to what you each brought to our class. If you have time, please take a look.
Grade 10 CLE: On Friday, you'll receive an email with a link to a video, where, again, I'll speak more about our class and all that you've achieved. If you have time, please take a look.
Grade 8's: You should have received an email invitation to our final Zoom (which will be tomorrow). Let me know if you have trouble accessing it, and wish to join in.
That's it for now, folks. Thank you for all your hard work, and congratulations on your successes. May the summer be ripe with opportunity for more creative pursuits, and restful breaks.
I'm on my email daily through Aug. 7th, and then regularly from mid-August onward, should you need something. Otherwise, take care and stay safe. Just a few more days of school left!
Sincerely,
Ms. Minato
