Computers 7 - iMovie to be exported and handed in asap (due yesterday - some of you have completed the exporting process but haven't handed it in to the drop box/online hand-in folder)
Science 7 - Mix it Up reports due today, including questions #1-4 in blue section of pg. 104 in your textbook

Sr. Choir rehearsal at St. Mary

Senior Choir/Jazz Choir will rehearse at St. Mary on Friday morning at 8:15. Please be in the auditorium (north doors) by 8am. We will have about half an hour to work with the St. Mary choir on "The Huron Carol" for January 7th. We may only get one other rehearsal in addition to this one, so it is very important that you are there, and that you arrive on time (aka early).

Please memorize your lyrics over the Christmas holidays as well. You may use your lyrics for Friday's rehearsal.

Mix It Up screen shots - Science 7

Click to enlarge.

Remember, to access your header/footer (for your name), click "View" and then "Header and Footer." To access your bullets (for the Materials section), click on "Format" and then "Bullets and Numbering." To create your table, click on "Table" and then "Insert table." Your table should be virtually identical to the table in which we recorded our observations last class - 4 columns, 10 rows. Be mindful of the justification and bold/italics of the headings.

Remember also to be consistent with your formatting - ie. putting a blank line (enter) after each heading, staying consistent with your bold, underline, italics, etc. Your document should look neat and organized when you are finished!

We will have at least 2 periods to work on this lab report (after today), so please

Bieber fever, or Osmond-itis?!

Just a thought for all of you girls out there who are crazy about Justin Bieber... (in case you are wondering, this post was inspired by all of the Gr. 7 iMovie topics on the aforementioned teen heart throb).... Here is my question to you: Are you in love with Justin Bieber, or secretly enthralled with his 1960s doppelganger, Donny Osmond?

Just sayin'.

IP 10 video assignment

I know I mentioned that I would tell you what the new assignment will be on Wednesday, but consider this a head start for those of you who check the blog. :o)

The next IP 10 assignment will be a video/photo assignment, all of which will be compiled into a promotional iMovie with potential for inclusion on the Rivier website.

Topics you may choose (including but not limited to):

- sports teams
- music program
- virtual tour
- meet the students and teachers (all staff)
- resident life
- academic options
- religious life, celebrations, etc.
- SLC (spirit days, fundraisers, etc.)

We will begin this project on Wednesday, December 8th. If you have a digital camera with video capabilities, please bring it to class regularly starting then. If you do not have access to a camera, we may be able to provide you with one from the school office.

An update on my (sister's) little beaners! And boys singing like cats!

I usually use this blog for homework related topics, but every once in a while it calls for an unrelated post. Today it is for an update on my favourite little beans!

Voila, here's Miss Avery! Around 8 pounds and 8 weeks old. What a little lady!

And her adorable twin sister, Miss Emily! Around the same weight, and only 25 minutes younger than her sister:

And for your random musical entertainment for the day, here is a duet entitled "Duetto Buffo di Due Gatti (2 Cats)" by Giacomi Puccini. It is ridiculous (and yet, sung SO well!). Enjoy!
