ENG 10: Thank you for your honest and reflective thoughts on our hot topics today. I'd also just like to say a quick thanks for your reactions to our "On Whose Histories Do We Sit?" mini-activity. Your immediate surprise and the cracks of smiles on some of your faces, and our debrief as to the metaphor of the activity, made it worth folding and taping some 30 news articles to plastic chairs. So thank you.
Please read chapter 3 for next class.
Socials 8: Your world religions concept map will be due on January 20th. You have, therefore, 10 days.

Reminders for Your First Week Back
1. Tomorrow is a Day 2. The schedule is 2-2, 2-1, 2-4, and then 2-3. We'll have this rotation for another few weeks. Grade 8's, this means social studies - bring your binders and notes from December, as we're playing review Jeopardy!
2. PLT is on Tuesday, as per usual. In our classroom, we will be doing some binder organization.
3. Wednesday is Team-Time, so early dismissal at 12:49
(grade 8 boys basketball members - remember we still have practice 3:00-4:30)
The first week might be the most challenging for you, but give it a few days -- slipping back into a routine can be as familiar as putting on your favourite jeans that were hiding at the back of your closet.
