This week our team will be hosting a dance on Valentines Day!  If any parents wish to come out and help, let us know!

Math 7 (Girls)
We are finishing Unit 3.  Mid-Unit tests will go back tomorrow and they will have to correct them and explain what they missed/needed to know/how they made their errors - please read their explanations, sign the tests when they come home and please return them!  The Unit 3 Test will be on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16 so you should see them reviewing their notes, or their textbooks (and online textbook if they forgot them at school!).

Math 7 (boys)
We went over calculating pi, circumference, radius, and diameter of circles.  Today we introduced how to make a parallelogram into a rectangle in order to use the formula "base x height" to find the area.  I am still working towards reviewing 1 question each lunch hour or after school before offering a retest.  If the boys don't come in for a review, they will NOT be allowed to take a retest.  They must also have all corrections done for the test.

French (HCE is suspended for Valentines Day!) - It IS after all, the "language of love"!
Using pre-framed expressions, both classes have been creating French Valentines (or a love letter) anonymously for a member of the class.  They will be surprising - each one will come from a famous person/character!  For the most part, the students have done a good job creating and personalizing them so it should be fun!

Socials (Martin)-1/2 of the Illustrated History projects came in today, the rest should be considered late unless the student has already talked to me.
