Reminder: Grade 7 Vball vs Staff- Now Wednesday

Will be at lunchtime on Wednesday November 16th. Bring your gym clothes and your "A game"!
Ms. Biorn will be the referee.

PS. Please note how the "vs" was used in the above title. Versus is not a verb. You can't "verse" anyone. Well, maybe in a game of poetry...

A BIG Thanks

To Ms. Bahd for her insightful and in-depth posts as the Guest Blogger last week.

THREE CHEERS! Now the rest of you have a great example to try and "emulate" (you may have to look that one up and I may have to add that one as a word of the day).


PS. That is not our class lying down to spell out the thank you message- but it could have been!

HW For Monday

Math 7:  HW: Extra Practice Sheet 3.4
and the ANIE sheet.

Reminder of the QUIZ on Friday. It will include sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 , 3.4

They are about America, but they are still good.
