Classroom News - Dec. 17

Grade 7/8M are finishing a math unit on Probability (hopefully before the holidays). Students are working in the Math Focus 7 textbook. Their last assignments are Section 10.3 (#1-7) and Section 10.6 (#1-8) - which are not necessarily for homework. Instead, these assignments are used to 'practice' the math content before working on the section worksheets. The section worksheets will be used to assess the students' understanding of the math and are assigned for homework.

8 DAYS LEFT UNTIL SANTA ARRIVES!

Reminders:
- Tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 18) is X-mas hat day.
- Sunrise Health Region information MUST be returned before Friday, Dec. 18 (grade 8 only).

Homework:
Spelling - Lesson #12 (due Friday, Dec. 18)
Spelling - Lesson #6-12 Test (Friday, Dec. 18)
LA - Booktalk Write-up and Presentation (due Friday, Dec. 18)
Social - Dec. What in the World (due Monday, Dec. 21)
