Congratulations to the two students who arrived at school with the answer to last night's blog question.  In fact it was two for two as we only had two submissions.  More people arriving at school reading the blog- great job!  Remember, this is for you... and your parents of course.  You however are driving the car called destiny (a great make by the way).  You are the only one who can make positive choices and changes when they are needed- keep that in mind.  Tonight, students should be on 4.2 and 6.2 working through the first 8 questions.  If students have not completed their language from last night, you get a reprieve, and should be working on it tonight. 

Parents, I will not be in the class tomorrow as we have a board mandated capacity day which means I will be assessing students performance and planning units with other teachers from the junior and intermediate divisions- should be a great day anyway. 

Notes:  Students brought home a flyer indicating that our "Arts Day" is May 7th, 2010.  Students are required to bring in $3 to participate.  We have a wonderful selection of artists coming in to do some work with our students.  This is always a lot of fun for our kids so please support us in this endeavor.

Here is tonight's fun math problem!

Have a great night!

Good Afternoon!

Students have quite a bit of homework tonight.  Students have a French test first thing tomorrow and should be studying tonight.  In language, students are working on a timeline and answering some reading type questions on our unit, "Tech then and Now".  Students also may have some math, Chapter 4.1 f(grade 7 and 6.1 (grade 8) but most have it completed now.  Students should also be working on a geography study card they will need for next week's Geography unit test.  This will be the end of Social Studies for my class as they move into Science for the balance of the year. 

Notes:  Swimming tomorrow, students should bring a pair of pants and sweater for an "in the pool" water test.

Students are also haveing music tomorrow- please bring instruments.

Grade eight students need to bring in a baby picture for graduation.  We will scan it and give it back that day.

I've included a math problem with tonight's blog.  Grade 7's and 8's can solve it.  First one with a correct answer tomorrow get's a sweetalicious treat!  Good Luck!
