November 13th to November 16th

Hello Again

Yesterday the students had a very successful trip to Hagersville High School, Red and Black Day, that hopefully gave some insight into the daily routine of Grade 9 and up.

The Halloween units that we worked on for 3 weeks were handed in and marked out of 200. Only 2 students out of 26 received a mark over 80% on these units. This will be used towards students writing, reading, & oral and visual communication marks on their report cards.

Math:
1) SOLVING PERCENT PROBLEMS 2.5 - Pages 74 - 77, #1-11.
2) SALES TAX, DISCOUNT, AND COMMISSION 2.6 - Pages 78 - 81, #1-12
3) SIMPLE INTEREST 2.7 - Pages 82 - 85, # 1-10 (Due Friday)
