Foundations 7: Distance Edition

Tuesday, April 14th

Hi everyone, welcome to this new edition of Foundations 7! My name is Erin Tate, and I will be your teacher. I have been teaching Foundations 7 for about 4 years now, and also teach English at Riverside Secondary in Port Coquitlam. You can reach me at etate@sd43.bc.ca, or through teams. For the last several years, I have used this platform, edublog, as my means of lesson delivery. I am rapidly getting used to teams, so will likely use both to start with.

Here is the meeting link to our class for tonight:
Join Microsoft Teams Meeting
Please go to www.noredink.com and sign up for a student account. It is free and I will be using it for some grammar practice. You will be asked for a class code, our code is specific hat 33, or use this link here: https://www.noredink.com/join/specific-hat-33
Building on our past terms, we are going to continue to work with phrases, and clauses. I do not expect you to complete all of this tonight, or even next week! I can work one on one with you from 7:15-8:15, through teams. Tonight I’d like you to set up your account, and familiarize yourself with the site. If you forget your username or password, don’t worry, I can reset for you.

Silver Linings Reflection Initial Write

What is your silver lining during this pandemic? Getting the laundry finally put away? Baking with your kids? Seeing that the dolphins are returning to the canals of Venice, Italy? Find a silver lining and write a paragraph explaining how you were able to discover some good from all of this. Add a picture or video if you know how.
