Classroom News - Oct. 9

Hello everyone:

Sorry about the delay in posting today's message; but as you know, there was an early dismissal today for students. However, I stress the word 'students' as us teachers had to stick around for staff meetings.

Just one thing to pass along. Ask your son/daughter about the SWARM performance today. It was a lot of fun...

Career Guidance 7 - Personal Inventory (due Friday, Oct. 10)
Math 7 - Unit Test (decimals: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, order of operation) (Friday, Oct. 10)
