Happy Monday everyone,

A bit of a surprise this morning for sure.  Two long weekends in a row- nothing to complain about. We are having a Math Unit test this Wednesday, some students are still struggling with generating histograms as well as representing data in a variety of other ways.  Also, there is a French quiz this thursday. 

Once again we are planning on going swimming at the Fergus pool in the afternoons.  I will likely have a form going home some time this week.

Have a great night everyone!

Evening all, tonight students have to finish their rough draft of their persuasive commentary.  We will be working on it tomorrow morning and a number of students will likely be filmed working on their drafts.  Business as usual for the rest of the day. Math homework, Chapter 9.1 and 9.2

Just a reminder that grad pictures are on February 23rd,  2011.

Have a great night!

Hello all,

Thanks to everyone who donated money to our KD campaign.  I know we've raised a lot of money for a very needy cause. Once again, East Gary proves that we have a caring and committed community. 

Today we wrote a math test and are a bit between units in language.  Therefore, we have a no homework day and kids can enjoy the night with a good book or a gander at the newspaper. 

Have a great night!

MM

Evening all, 

Just a friendly reminder that our last ski trip is this Friday.  We are looking forward to some great conditions.  Mr. P will be on this trip so he can enjoy some time with his grade 7's.

Tonight, students have some math homework as there is a test this Wednesday.  Students should be finishing up chapter 3.5 and then the review and practice test before Wednesday.  A number of students have not completed their Red Maple Reading novel study which is now overdue.  Students have until tomorrow to finish it. 

Also, just a reminder that grad portrait day is coming soon.  Graduates will be sitting for photos on February 23rd at 8:45.  Girls should where a white blouse or alike, and boys should where a white, collared dress shirt and a darker coloured tie -preferably with East Gary colours of navy and red but not exclusive to.

Have a great night!
