Good morning Division 7,<\/p>\n

I hope you are all doing well, I miss you all!<\/p>\n

Topics to discuss:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “Sharing Circle” video conference<\/li>\n
  2. Assignments – hand-in<\/li>\n
  3. Learning opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Sharing Circle video conference<\/h1>\n

    As mentioned on Tuesday, we have planned a virtual sharing circle tomorrow at 11am on Microsoft Teams. This will be the first time we will be having a class meeting which means we require lots of patience and mindfulness. Please note that this is brand new to me too! This information is based on my research so I hope that it is successful. If not — it will be an opportunity to explore the program.<\/p>\n

    To access the class meeting, you simply have to go to our Microsoft Teams page and there should be a message that will allow you to join the meeting. Please consider the following for the video call:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Make sure your sound is on “mute” and only “unmute” when it is your turn to speak. This is because the little bits of sound from your home will mix together and make it hard to properly hear the listener.<\/li>\n
    2. Please be kind and respectful through out the entire call. We are all being vulnerable by sharing and attending the meeting.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. What can you share?<\/strong> I encourage you to share your architecture project or your mystery stories. However, I understand that everyone’s situation is different and some of you may not have gotten to that point yet. You may also share an update, something special (art, lego, story, toy, plant, etc.) as long as you are prepared to speak about it’s importance.<\/li>\n
    4. Please inform a parent\/guardian about this video call. Be sure to ask for permission before joining.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      2. Assignments – handing in<\/h1>\n

      When you are accessing the assignment documents on Microsoft Teams, I encourage you to “save” the document and work on it through there. Be sure to complete and submit all stages of the project (not just the final piece). The process of how you got to the final piece is just as important! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

      3. Learning opportunities<\/h1>\n

      Each of your circumstances and learning journey is different. Please complete what is appropriate for your situation. The following is a prescribed day-plan if your circumstances allow for it.<\/p>\n

      Last week’s photo explained:<\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Last week’s photo was a celebration of miners who completed the last bit of the longest railway tunnel in the world. The total span is 57.09\u00a0 kilometers. It is called the Gotthard Base Tunnel<\/a> in Switzerland. It was completed in 2017. The machine behind the miners is called a “Tunnel Boring Machine”<\/a> (aka “The Worm” or “The Mole”). It was built with the intention of reducing passenger traffic, travel time for passengers, reducing transportation truck accidents and trucks on the road. They hope the tunnel reduces the overall impact on the environment. What kind of concerns do you think would arise in a project like this?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      b.) Science – Create<\/h2>\n

      Part 3: Creating<\/b><\/p>\n

      Use materials around your home to create your structure!
      \n<\/span>Please document your structure <\/span>(take a photo and send it to me! Either through email or freshgrade<\/b>)<\/span><\/p>\n

      What shapes did you notice in your structure?<\/span><\/p>\n
