Week of May 27 - 31, 2019

Thursday HW
1.  EQAO is officially complete.  We wrote most days for about 25 - 65 minutes.  If you child wrote for the lesser end of this range you may want to encourage them to put forth a greater effort.  Although this assessment does not "count" for reporting purposes, it is the leading indicator for future provincial assessments that DO count and are requirements for obtaining a graduation diploma in high school.
2.  We are out of Kleenex-style tissue.  Students go through it at quite a rapid rate.  If you could, they would appreciate a donation to the class to see us through to the end of June.
3.  MMS pages 158-59, and pages 162-63.  We had plenty of time to work on these during the week after testing sessions were complete each day.
4.  Probability quiz on Monday June 3 -- Experimental and Theoretical Probability, Probability and Percent.
