Hi all

Math test on Monday on building and solving algebraic expressions.

Housekeeping
Permission form has gone home for Science Centre visit. No cost. This has been organized by our Guidance group - the purpose of the visit is to explore different career paths (Apprenticeship, Workplace, College and University). Trip is on May 21st.

Blogs - we are still building all blogs for the Grade 7s and 8s that see me for Language. This is a bigger job than what I expected but we are all learning about blog/reader permissions. Good exercise and once we are all up and running, we will have some great things to post.

Media Clips - we are making 60 second media clips about our novels that will eventually be posted to our blogs.

Lots of work underway. We are a busy class.

See you tomorrow.
