Wednesday, January 20, 2016







PARENTS!  Please read the big, bold, red writing below (I made a mistake and would like to clarify the dates - thanks, Karim for pointing this out to me!)


Transfer forms and registration forms due January 27th. 




Ski/Snowboard/Tube forms: due today!





Parents of 7/8 students: during English today, I gave each class 20-25 minutes to work on their seminars.  Prior to beginning the task,  I had each student estimate, then write down, a reasonable goal of what they could achieve within 25 minutes, rather than: "I will work as hard as I can within the time given." As a result, we had many satisfied customers: students were expressing how they were much more productive by focusing on the tasks that needed to be done, rather than the time they had to do them.  If you have had similar experiences in your work, please take some time to share them with your child.

ENGLISH
1. Seminars: this coming Friday: .  Every student will write a small quiz on the pages being covered PRIOR to the seminars (pages 8 - 25).  For those who read the book ages ago, I recommend you re-read these pages on Thursday night to familiarize yourself with the content.   Friday's participants are: Nathan, Kyle, and Jaimie.  Monday will be: Isabelle, Nusha, and Nicole.








MATH
1. Final test in the 6.1 - 6.4 chapter.  Tomorrow is communication.  Tonight, review formulas (including HOW we came up with them) and how to find a missing side.
