Today I was away at a mentorship meeting. Mr. Sternloff taught today, including an interesting lesson  on coral, the animal that is almost not an animal.

Math- students in grade 6 students received their math quizzes on decimal division and multiplication. Today they worked on corrections and had math games when those corrections were finished. The mark should be recorded in their agendas today.

CHRISTMAS DRESS REHEARSAL tomorrow morning, please have your child come dressed in the colours below.
