Final Course Announcements

I have posted all of the marks into HomeLogic, so you can check and see how you did on the Final Exam Part "B". I have removed everybody from the class wikis, so if you try to access them, that's why you can't anymore. I have put my recommendations for which course you should take next year in my report card comments, whether it's Social 30-1 or 30-2 for my Social 20-1 students, or Social 20-1 or 20-2 for my Social 10-1 students. These recommendations are based on years of teaching experience and evaluating students. If I have recommended you for the -2 stream, I have your best interests at heart, and you should probably follow through with my recommendations.

Good luck to you all next year in Grade 11 or 12!

Tutorial Times

If you want to come in today (Thursday, June 15th), I won't be available until 1 pm. I'm supervising the English 30-1 Diploma Exam today, so it limits how much time I'm going to be in my classroom.

 If you need to drop off cheques for Model UN (SSUNS or NHSMUN), you can put those in my mailbox in the Main Office.

 If you have your blue Model UN booklets, and you want to return them, you can also put those in my mailbox in the Main Office. When you hand in those booklets, please make sure that you put your name on a Post-It note and put that on the cover the booklet.

We played Kahoot review games today in class, for the entire period. I really enjoyed teaching all of you this semester! I will be putting my recommendations as to which course you should take next year (30-1 or 30-2) on your report cards. As it stands right now, the only Grade 12s that I will be teaching next year are the Grade 12 IB History class, so unless my teaching schedule changes drastically, I won't be teaching any of you next year. Good luck on the Final Exam Part "B", and in Grade 12 next year!
