Well, what a week it has been! Please stay safe! First, I want to thank everyone in our homeroom for an amazing year so far. I looking forward to continuing our work together, whatever direction that takes us, (I am not entirely sure as of yet.) Second, I am only an email away jlthorpefed@cbe.ab.ca if you need anything. It was great to see you yesterday if you came out to clean your locker, and please note that the school will be opened until 6 pm on Wednesday if you haven't already come to get your belongings.
Here are a few website to use for now and when we have a solid direction from CBE there will be more to follow!

We have now finished essay writing and if you could finish your essay on Freedom Writers and email me that by the end of the week, that would be awesome. But here is a writing assignment to start today.
WRITING ASSIGNMENT Primary Source for the COVID 19 Pandemic. Please read the assignment and starting today document anything about this event. (Watch the News) Please ensure you are writing at least 1/2- to one page each day. More to come with this, but for now you can get started.
I will keep you posted after the break as to the direction we will take moving forward.
Have a great Spring Break and keep your minds active!

Please continue to check PowerSchool for comments and marks on recent assignments/tests or for things that have been handed in late.
The Calgary Board has been setting up material for parent and teacher online use and learning. A reminder that khanacademy.org is a world renowned and CBE approved website for learning math. Khan Academy also has learning in other subjects. Students or parents can (thought they don't have to) set up an account on there to track student progress. There are a wide assortment of math lessons, quizzes and tests to help students learn and track their progress. I'd also remind students that knowing your times tables and being able to recall them quickly, is a very important skill and one that high school teachers see as fundamental for a student to be successful. In other words - practice your times tables! Parents/guardians also teach your child strategies that can be used when a child does not have the times table memorized.
For science, I want to remind students that there are a lot of fun and educational science YouTube channels available.
ASAP Science
Minute Earth
Minute Physics
Veritasium
Kurzgesagt
Vsauce
It's Okay to be Smart
SpaceRip (my personal favourite)
Many successful science channels have developed sister channels as spin offs.
Also be sure to check your favourite science website for links to similar channels
Missing you guys!
