Thinking of all of you-

Hello All You Hum 9er’s!

The last official day of classes has come and gone and I already feel a void in my heart. I have had a great year teaching you and more importantly- learning from all of you. You all have taught me so much about yourselves as learners and what I can do as an educator, to better assist you in your learning journey.

We have learned a lot about specific information in social studies, and how to write and read better in English, yet for me, this year was also about understanding and honouring who we all are as learners and how to advocate for ourselves. In reflection, I know that each of you have come far in both your personal and educational journey and I thank each one of you for allowing me to come along with you.

When you return next year, please do come find me and say hello, as I will miss you and how lovely it will be to hear from you.

I wish you all a summer filled with joy, happiness and most of all FUN!. Hopefully you'll pick up a something to read along the way and when you do, I hope you will stop and think of all the reading strategies you have learned and put them to use. I also hope that you continue to advocate for yourself and most importantly- Believe in yourself; I know I believe in each and every one of you. You are all capable of greatness. Be the change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi).

My best to you-
Most sincerely,
Ms. Minuk

PS: Keep Humming Along,

  19. does the "drawing conclusion" have to be colored?

    ReplyDelete
  20. The quick answer is NO, the Drawing Conclusion homework does not have to be coloured. Many of you are using a double entry format which I would never expect to be coloured. Yet, if you are doing something like a mind map, it helps to colour it; having said that, you decide!

  27. Hello class, I love the banner!

    ReplyDelete
  28. i have a question:
    when you use bibme.org and search for the book you used and they gave you the book with the right title and author but the publication date is wrong for example i wanted to search for a book that was published in 2006 but they gave me the book's first edition which was published in 2005 can i still use that?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi Kelly,
    Hmmm... The easy answer is yes; the longer answer is yes- yet I am perplexed as to why you are unable to get the correct date the book was published. Did you type in the isbn #? If you did everything correctly, rest assured that what you have is the most current and it will be accepted. Hope this helps.

  30. umm... Ms. Minuk.... you might want to check the homework box.... cuz its really weird right now :D

  31. I was just wondering, I tried a few a while ago to make a banner for the top. But it didn't work. I had a thought that it may be becuase I used paint on my computer and mine isn't a mac and yours is. Do you know if there is any other programs I could make it on?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh... I wish I could help you but I am not very good with it so I will email you directly with a couple of names for you to contact-
