Happy Tuesday Everyone :)  I hope that you all had a wonderful and restful Easter weekend.  I hope that you are all safe and well and that you were able to retrieve your Socials Text Books from school last week. If you didn't again, please check last week's blog posts as Mr. K is offering time on a case by case basis to obtain your materials from the school if you so require. I will also be providing PDF copies of the text each week (as required) within Teams - within the 'files' and 'assignments' sections via the top toolbar in Teams.  So - how to begin (again) with continuing to teach Socials/History during this unprecedented time in history?  Well - I know that we just finished up a review of the last global pandemic - the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu pandemic the last day prior to Spring Break - (timely right?) and considering the place that we are at in history right now (re: Covid19) - let's spend a little more time on this last world wide global pand

Tuesday April 7th 2020 Update

Hello all! Happy Tuesday! If you haven't checked yesterday's (April 6th's) blog post out please do as it reviews important class and course outline updates. As noted on yesterday's post this week is all about connections (which I will be completing today and tomorrow) via phone and email with you and your parents. Additionally, RSS is in the process of setting up each student with their very own 365 email. Once this is completed I will post information here on the blog re: how to access your new account. This new account will be key to accessing information re: assignments, live classes etc. We will be using Teams (in Office 365) to hold live classes. I will also be uploading assignments in 365 Teams and providing you with feedback through the same platform. Tip: Always check the blog here as a first port of call each morning. My goal will be to have the daily posts go live between 8am and 10am each week day. I can always be reached at ahathorn@sd19.bc.ca for
