Good evening all,

Just a quick note tonight.  Students have math, chapter 5.3 questions 1-8 for homework.  Likewise, I've asked students to do some research on retired general Romeo Dallaire of the Canadian Army, and more specifically commander in chief during the United Nations campaign in Somalia.  Focus on the 5 w's with significant focus on his peace keeping in Somalia.  We are beginning a unit on tolerance and understanding with respect to societal conflict etc.  Also, just a note that we are still experiencing a significant lack of effort in our secondary subjects like Science.  A number of students are not bothering to even take notes during lectures!  I find them doodling in books, not even bothering to be involved in the discussions!  We are still in May and school doesn't end until the end of June. I encourage every parent to speak to your child, find out what they are doing in class, ask how they are taking ownership!  

Just a reminder that tomorrow is East Gary's track and field day and Friday is our talent show.

Have a great night!
