Grade 9: Have forbidden city notes and symbolism completed for next class we are moving on.


Grade 7: Parents please consider helping your child develop better study habits. I am trying to show them some good study strategies and have asked them to get someone at home to quiz them on their terms,verbs answers etc... a few nights before every test. Get involved let them know you value their learning! Many of them are having difficulty on their tests and for some of them, better study habits and getting the homework done will help. If you work odd hours or are  unsure of what to do encourage them to look for help from classmates. Perhaps they could arrange some quiz time by phone.

Thanks and remember you have an English terms test this Friday and a French vocab test next Friday.

Also French 7 some students slacked off towards the end of class and did not get their menu sheets done. I wanted them to try it on their own with some guidance from group members but I did not want them to copy. Make sure it is done for tomorrow! Otherwise your behaviour will be reported.
