Good morning everyone. Hope you had a great weekend. I released your scores for last week’s articles. Those of you that did not attempt your work without contacting me will be receiving an INCOMPLETE. It’s important that you continue your studies for your own well-being. You do not want to start out next year trying to catch up on skills you have worked 8-9 years to obtain. For the time being, we have limited control in our lives, but this is one thing you can control. Invest in yourselves…because I am 110% certain, you are all worth it. Aight, lecture over.
This week’s focus question is: Why should we value our youth? Think about this and create a list of reasons why it’s important to embrace who and where you are in life right now. Then, keep your list it in mind as you complete each of your daily tasks. If you find information that relates to your list or question, remember to include the following:
· the idea or thought that sparked your interest
· where you found it
Please find your daily task breakdown below. I will monitor your guided reading results and offer feedback where necessary. Remember the Read Aloud option is available for all articles posted. If you have questions, email me: paula.davidson@nbed.nb.ca
