2.   Math HW book page 112.
3.  First Nations powerpoint due on Monday May 9.  Eleven computers were in use today at the homework club to work on this.  Way to go!
4.  12 students did not have an essay rough draft in class today for peer editing.  It's vital that we are prepared for class each day.   Tomorrow we write the good copies.  Students who were unprepared have an extra night.  Be aware that we are running out of days in the school year.  Let's make every one count.
