Some students had an extra math assignment on Friday to make up for missed homework assignments and marks. Since it is already Saturday, hopefully this math is already completed and ready for Tuesday. MATH TEST ON WEDNESDAY!

Also, we are working on writing Advice Columns in the computer lab from our Writing Sense workbooks. Please make sure all rough work is ready to go for next week.
