No new work is being assigned by me today!
Please take the next three days to catch up on all of the assignments including those from other teachers in French, Music, History and Geography. For those of you who are caught up, take the time for some physical exercise and creativity. Try starting a new art project - tons of ideas on-line!

New for today Math and Science - Check it out!!
Also, when submitting work, here are a few things to keep in mind. Many of you are sending photos - that's great. It helps me if you make sure to press hard with your pencil, include your name and title on every item you photograph and try to get the entire assignment in one or two photos. If you send a math assignment with 5 pages (photos), it gets pretty complicated for me at this end.
Pdf's and google docs are great as well for most subjects - difficult for me to put feedback directly on them for math though.

Saturday April 3
Starting on Monday April 6, students are to check each subject page (listed as buttons above) for their assignments, lessons and deadlines.
Copy of email sent on Saturday, April 3 to all students is shown below.
Hello everyone,
This is an email going out to all students in the class using the email you've provided me with. I have some things to tell you.
1. We will start school up again beginning on Monday April 6.
2. Your parents will receive an email that describes how this will work and what your responsibilities are. I have posted a copy of the schedule that your parents received on our website and below.
3. Check our class website (mrnaccs.weebly.com) multiple times a day. this will be our main way of communicating.
4. You can communicate with me through email during regular school hours and I will respond as best as I can.
5. Assignments can be submitted electronically through the website on the bottom of the Home page. If you have something hand written to submit (such as Math) and you do not have a scanner at home, you can take a picture of it with your phone and send that.
6. I have also set up a Google classroom as back up which you should also check daily once you have accepted my invitation to join. To do this you need to click on the waffle icon in your school google account and select classroom - the rest is easy - just accept invitation to join the class. You may find French, Music, History and Geography lessons at this site...this has yet to be worked out.
Please stay home and stay safe during these unprecedented times!
Mr. Naccs

Parent email sent today.
Dear
This is Mr. P. Naccarato, your child’s teacher. This email has a number of purposes.
First of all I hope that you and all of your family are safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.
Second, I want to inform you that we will be starting online learning that I will help your child with. This has already started as I have updated my class website (mrnaccs.weebly.com) to include a new section on “At Home Learning”. I asked, through the website for each student to send me a message so that I have a current email address for them. I have heard back from many students already. If your child has not checked the class website and sent me an email through the website, please ask them to do so.
Third, I would like to remind you of the assignments your child is currently working on. They are mainly two things so far. In Language your child is working on an independent poetry project – an assignment sheet was handed out at school. In Math, I asked the students to try to complete the lessons and the practice questions in the workbook for Chapter 9 on Fractions. Students are encouraged to ask me questions about this work at any time. I will respond as quickly as I can during regular school hours.
Fourth, to encourage you to check out the online resources that were mentioned in a communication you should have received from the school board this week. I have checked out all of those resources myself and have posted some recommendations and links on my website. Please use them as you see fit until we begin more formal instruction next week.
Fifth, I want to share with you a resource available if your child is unduly stressed during this time – it is the Kids Help Phone - Please visit their website: www.kidshelpphone.ca, call: 1-800-668-6868, or text CONNECT to 686868.
Last, please send a quick reply to acknowledge that you’ve received this message and do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
Stay well, stay safe, stay home!
Sincerely,
Mr. P. Naccarato
Grade 8 Teacher

The following are some on-line resources you can access to help you in your self-guided learning:
Ministry of Education Resources
Go to Ontario.ca/learnathome
You will find only 3 resources that are applicable to grade 8
1. CEMC Courseware - this is a website from the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing at the University of Waterloo - This has some great video lessons in Math for Grades 7 and 8
2. TVO Mathify - this website provides free one on one online tutoring in Math for students once you have signed up
3. Khan Academy - This website has detailed video lessons for every grade and topic in Math followed by practice questions and even quizzes you can try!
Toronto Catholic District School Board Resources
Go to tcdsb.org/ FORSTUDENTS
You will find resources (mostly links) in every subject area.
I especially recommend the section called "10 Days of Literacy". this will list reading and writing activities for 10 days in a row.
Also highly recommended is the new "Daily Activities" section which will list a full days lessons in a variety of subjects.
