It's been 3 weeks...

We've done our preliminary stuff and are now into the course.  Getting right into the serious learning and doing!  Learning the tools and applying them to some practical work in class is what it's all about in the Comm Tech, hands-on environment.

Being aware of what is required and letting others know how we are all doing is important in a work environment and school environment; this information is necessary to create a good, working environment. 

Complete the following 3 sentences clearly (adding sentences is ok), describing your progress level:


1 - What I've found easy so far...


2 - What I've found hard so far...


3 - What I've found interesting so far...

Back to School...

Here we are, the end of the first week back to school after a full summer of sunshine!


We've all been away, either vacationing or simply working for the summer, taking a break from a full year's work.  My summer included a full two weeks of training, learning how to teach a Grade 9 and 10 Design Tech class.  Wow, that course could easily fit into College Heights.  I am going to plan the startup of Design Tech for next year hopefully!  Then I spent 4 weeks working on my basement, a project that I have been working on for at least 4 years, off and on.  Looks great!  And finally, I took my family on a three day canoe trip up the Saugeen River, between Walkerton and Port Elgin.  It was fun, we did some rapids too!  And now, I am back to my favourite job, teaching at College Heights!!!


Well, that was my summer...tell the class a little about your summer, what did you do?  (Write at least one paragraph = minimum of 3 sentences)
