Welcome to High School!
You are all settling in well to school and all the new information coming at you. Make sure you can use the lock on your locker, as this will be a good place to keep textbooks so you don't need to move them all around. I love opening locks, so please ask me for help if you need it.
Today we got our textbooks and then did a textbook "TOUR". This worksheet is found HERE. (we only did the front page). We also completed a get to know me assignment. This is found HERE.
We did a little bit of Science Safety by reading and discussing page 475 in the textbook covering WHMIS symbols.
Finally we got our course outlines and the parent information sheet. Please have a parent sign this and bring it back tomorrow. Course outline and parent permission HERE.
Below is a video to see the WHMIS symbols in detail
