Last Term


I missed a term of entering information onto this sight. It is hard to believe how fast time goes by! However, here I am again and to post and inform you of as much as I can.


Parent/Teacher interviews are this week, Thursday, April 2nd (6:30 - 8pm) and Friday April 3rd (9am - 12pm). I am in room 45. Please feel free to drop by and bring your son or daughter too!


Math 9

Students are working on polynimials. By the end of class on Wednesday, students should have finished to the end of the following:

Page 292 (1 - 9, a - f)

Page 298 (1 - 7, all)

Page 299 (7 - 10)

Page 304 (1 - 15 every other question: a, c, e, g, i etc.)


We will have a unit test on April 8th.


English 113

We are working on computers in the class. Each student is putting together a photo album on e-mac, incorporating graphics, script, audio and other features into their video.


We continue to read Freedom Writers by Erin Gruwell. This diary, written by students, reflects their feelings and personal lives of overcoming obstacles and understanding of tolerance.


Students should also be independently reading a novel. The novel project is due April 27th.


Science 9

We are finishing up the first untit on Matter. The unit test for this unit is Thursday, April 9th. Students should ensure they are highlighting their notes and incorporating study into each night following class. I have encouraged students to make cue-cards highlighting their notes. This study helps capture the main points of each lesson.



Have a wonderful day.

Ms. Norman
