Hi all
And where, exactly, did that long weekend go?

Math
Integer homework. Q. 19 and 20(d) for tomorrow. For those of you who worked ahead, please work on the Review Page, Q 1- 7.

Ms Sneyd, Guidance Counsellor, will be in school tomorrow to give a presentation to the Grade 8s about choices for High School.

Novel Study
Tonight, I ordered novels from Scholastic. They should be arriving this week and then we will begin working on Literature Circles.

Housekeeping
1. Terry Fox money is due tomorrow. After our chat this morning, please ensure that you contribute a minimum of $2 from your own personal pocket for the Terry Fox Foundation. You are all of the age that fully comprehends the importance of giving generously to others. Cancer unfortunately will or has affect(ed) you or someone in your family. Money is needed for research if we are to continually move ahead in combating this disease. Speak to your families about the importance of giving generously to cancer research. Think of Terry Fox, his personal goal and the sacrifice he made for cancer research.
2. Inclement Weather Form has gone home for your parents/guardians to sign and to send back for your office files. Should the weather dictate that we close the school, you will be unable to leave school until the required time should this form not be returned. Please ensure that it is brought back to class asap.

See you all tomorrow.
Ms V.
