Update, Friday, November 13th
Marks are into the office for reports cards, which will be given to students next week. Parent/Teacher interviews are Wednesday evening from 6 - 8pm and on Thursday from 9 - 11am. I look forward to meeting with parents and students together.
Monday - November 16th, Science 9 will write a quiz on Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 inclusive. There is a counting atoms component to the quiz. We have been counting atoms in the class for the past two days.
Monday - November 16th, Math 9 will have a probability quiz. Study your notes and use the example handed to you in class today. If you visit my wiki, you can get other examples there.
Students do not have classes on November 19th or 20th.
Have a great weekend.
