Please note:
When working with a partner(s) on Google Docs or Slides, create a "new folder", give it a title, then click on the "share" button to add tcdsb.ca e-mails of each team member; then, all partners will be able to work at the same time on the folder whenever and wherever they may be.


Thursday Reminders:

Everyone now should have access (using their @tcdsb.ca Drive) to 3 shared Google folders: Reading, Geography, and Science.  Within each, you will find individual past due assignments.  If some of these "remain incomplete" on your Task Tracker, then you STILL have an opportunity to add them to your drive, make a copy, complete and share them back to me for a grade.  Take advantage of this opportunity.
