Tuesday May 30th

A reminder that my tutorial hours are: Monday and Wednesday 3 to 4, Tuesday and Thursday 8 to 8:30, and lunches upon request. These hours are also posted on this blog.

Today, you went to EMCS. You got to see a Chemistry demonstration and had a tour of the facilities. For those of you going on to other secondary schools, you can arrange your own tour with their counselors. The leadership students communicated a message that applies to all high schools: responsible use of time, seeking out help when you need it and getting involved in extracurriculars will spell into success at this next level of schooling.

English: Today you did an in class assignment and activity to start off our survival unit. Here is the link, if you were away. This was a marked assignment.
