Classroom News - Nov. 25

Sorry about the delay in posting today's message. I just finished (with a lot of help from a student) an interactive poster for bullying. You will be able to admire the handy work during the interviews Wednesday and Thursday evening.

Also, our 6/7M class will now recieve some extra help from the school's educational assistants during some of our Math classes. This should now optimize students learning and understanding with the subject area.

Reminder: there will be no school on Friday, Nov. 28 in lieu of the parent-teacher interviews.

See some of you tomorrow :)
