End of Year Comments

Hi everyone:

Instead of a course-specific questionnaire, I have created a very open-ended survey. Please follow the link and fill it in. Thank you in advance for your feedback, positive or negative. I take it seriously and appreciate it very much.

Survey

I had a wonderful semester in both grade 11 and grade 12 history thanks to you!

Ms. Djemel’s Last Day

Sorry for the belated goodbye pictures, Ms. Djemel. Remember us.

A Lovely Sunday Afternoon

Quick, before spring’s temporary arrival is over here are some pics from a visit to the Ganaraska Millenium Conservation Area . This is my second time using my new 180mm macro lens – just getting the hang of it. Though everything is still brown the sun makes it look happier.

Maple Leaf Gardens Protest

Lonely in a crowd again. I couldn’t find anyone from YM so I joined the march and ended up in a great spot right in front of Maple Leaf Gardens. Teachers make great signs.

Donkey Sanctuary

As a surprise Val took me to the PrimRose donkey sanctuary in Roseneath, about half an hour away from our cottage. Here are some of the lovely donkeys and mules. They take donations if you’re interested.

Christmas Backyard

On Christmas day I checked out my backyard: what a mess. However, there’s always something to take a picture of. This time I tried to shoot some man-made things as opposed to just my usual leaves and natural detritus.
