Grade 7s: what does this image have to do with what we listened to yesterday?  It has deeper meanings, so look closely at the photo.  Related to this, I provided 5 copies of a short story to the class and asked if anyone would like to take it home to read it - at least 17 hands went up.  Nice initiative 7T, nice initiative.  


MATH: Area of a rectangular prism.  Here's a little tip sheet
p. 99, #1, 3, 6, 7, ***8, 9, 10, 11

Thornlea open house, this Thursday 6:30 - 8:30.  It's an excellent opportunity to find out about pre-AP, AP, and the ACAM program.
