Week of Jan.30th- Feb.3rd

Hi Everybody and Welcome to Planning 10!

I am very excited to be teaching Planning this semester. I think it is a highly relevant course about Life and all that comes with it-self-discovery, career planning, finances, health, nutrition, healthy relationships and more. And best of all, it is going to be FUN! We will be doing a lot of in-class activities and assignments, as well as projects this semester.


How can you be successful? Your success in this course depends entirely on you and your ability to keep up with and hand in ALL assignments ON TIME!  There is really no reason why you can't be successful in this course, so be prepared each class, be on time, pay attention, USE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY, and make your due dates!

Remember, while this is a fairly fun course, it is a REQUIREMENT to graduate so put in your best effort.

For a list of topics we will be covering this semester, please refer to the course outline. If at anytime you have questions about assignments or concerns please don't hesitate to email me.

Please check this site regularly for information and reminders on assignments, projects, due dates, and  tests. I'll do my best to update this weekly!

See you in class! :)

Week of Jan. 23-27th

Hi Planning 10,

In case you're checking this, I just wanted to say it was wonderful teaching you all. You were a fun class and I'll miss you. I apologize our last class was a bit rushed at the end (I always forget Fridays end at 2:50)! I didn't get the chance to say Good-bye properly. I hope you learned a few things this semester that will carry with you over the years. Please remember to work hard, always do your best, be kind to one another, respect yourself, make smart choices and plan ahead!

I wish you all the very best in the coming years!

Please don't hesitate to stop by my room to check your final mark or to hand in your 5-day Eating Log or Daily Physical Activity sheet to your folders. I'll sign off on them for you provided you bring it to my attention!

See you around!

-Ms.Sundin

Week of Jan.16-20th

Hi Gr.10's,

As this is your LAST WEEK of classes, there is A LOT to do!!! I'm sorry the end of the course is so rushed. I blame all the Monday double-blocks we lost this semester :S

Anyway, this is what our last week together will look like:

Monday- Finish discussing Birth Control/Contraceptives Chart
               - VIDEO on Teen Sex/Birth Control

Tuesday- Quiz: Birth Control
            - STI Research Assignment-partner research activity

Wednesday- Class time to create presentation on your STI due Thursday

Thursday- STI Research presentations

Friday- Finish any STI presentations if necessary. Watch a video on STI's. Final Mystery Box Q&A. Discussion/Exploration of a great website I found called "Get Respect- Youth Sexual Health". I have posted it to my Important Links if you want to check it out.

Remember: if you have ANY questions about ANYTHING, please submit a question to the Mystery Box. I'll give you all an opportunity every day this week up until Thursday and have the answers to you on Friday.

Friday is also the cut off day for any late/missing assignments. I'll aim to have your final marks ready sometime after Wednesday Jan.25th, so please feel free to stop by my room to check your mark.

It was a pleasure teaching you all this semester. I wish you all the best next semester and in the future. Don't be afraid to say 'Hi' in the halls :)

Week of Jan.9-13

Hi Gr.10's,

This week in Planning 10 we will finish our unit on drugs. We have a few more videos to watch and the Drug Addiction Article & Questions (that I handed out on the 4^th in the library) to do as well. You will have a quiz on drugs on Wednesday, January 11th. Please think of any questions for the Mystery Box. You will have an opportunity to put questions in it if you wish.

On Tuesday January 10^th the counselors will be coming to our class to discuss Course Selection. Be sure you are in class that day (well each and every day, but especially Tuesday!) because this is something you don’t want to miss. I strongly encourage you to take a look at the Course Selection Guide before Tuesday, so that you have a better idea of the courses being offered. Don’t forget- if you’re interested in a Gr.11 Co-op, there is a meeting at lunch time in the Career Center.

Probably starting on Wednesday, we will be moving on to our final unit on Healthy Relationships, which will take us through to the end of next week. This is, in my opinion, one of the most important and interesting units in the whole course!

See you in class!

PS. I have finalized your Mock Interview marks. Please remind me to pass them back to you! J

Week of Jan.3 -6

Welcome Back Everyone,

Tuesday January 3^rd we will be starting our unit on drugs, which will be continued on Thursday and Friday. Perhaps in the last 15-20 minutes of class we will talk about and prepare for your Mock Interview.

Wednesday January 4^th is your long-awaited Mock Interview in the library. Be sure to have an UPDATED COPY of your Cover Letter and Resume, and be dressed appropriately! You MUST ATTEND. This is for a mark and cannot be rescheduled.

Thursday January 5^th you will be having the counselors come to talk to you about Course Selection. In the remaining time we will finish our drugs assignment.

Friday January 6^th- We will finish talking about drugs and perhaps watch a video. Ms. Wilson will be coming to visit us at the beginning of class to talk about Co-op Programs at our school.

See you in class!
