Math - Students have been asked to hand in any missing assignments. Some assignments have been handed in, but were not done correctly so I asked students to redo them and hand them back in. If this has not been done these assignments are counted as missing.

All but 3 students had assignments missing!

I have placed the responsibility on each student to a) find out what they are missing and b) to complete the assignments by Monday next week. Students are aware that I will be contacting parents next week to enlist their help in getting missing assignments completed, should that become necessary.

Language Arts - Spelling is due tomorrow (unit 13 pg. 59#1, pg 60#2, pg 61#2). We will also be having a spelling test on the Unit 13 words.
