Week of December 19-23, 2011

Thursday HW
1.  Math HW Book pages 68-69
2.  Class party tomorrow afternoon.  We will be missing about six students from the group tomorrow due to early Christmas vacation departures.  Contributions to the party can be planned for based on about 25 people in attendance.

Tuesday HW
(Computer network issues prevented me from updating the blog yesterday.  My apologies!)
1.  Math Unit 4 Test tomorrow.  A test pack was returned today that should provide some guidance on areas for student focus in their study.
2.  Test pack given out today.  Please return during the first week back from the Christmas holidays.
3.  Our "Teammates" reading response went overtime today and I had to push back the Novel Study quiz to Wednesday.
4.  Our food drive efforts have resulted in our class taking the junior division lead!  Way to go boys and girls!  We had some really dedicated contributors and our class responded well to their examples.  Thank you very much for your efforts.
5.  On Friday afternoon we will have some snacks and a class party with a film.  I am bringing carrots and dip and popcorn.  Other students are bringing a range of items. 
(Heating and cooling are available at school but other classes may be using these facilities as well.  There is no way of knowing how much access we can count on.  We'll do our best to work around the circumstances, but foods that require limited preparation are probably best.)
