Most projects will also require the students to present their product in oral presentations and written reports. Evaluation will be based on the achievement levels as set out by the Ministry of Education and Training, found in the Ontario Curriculum.
The student agenda is an essential tool for organizational and communication purposes. Students are required to bring their agendas to class at all times. Parents are asked to look through the agenda regularly. Furthermore, parents are encouraged to monitor/follow Mme Kinloch's website at http://mmekinloch.yolasite.com/. The website is also linked to the homeroom page by clicking on Social Studies.
I am always willing to provide extra-help during the lunch hour. It is the student's responsibility to make these arrangements. Parents/guardians are also welcome to call me at school (613) 823-1663 and leave a message with a number where I may reach you.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Kinloch, OCT
