QUEBEC CHEQUES WERE DUE TODAY: some students have yet to hand in the first deposit, so kindly do so by tomorrow.  If you have a reason for not participating, please communicate with me or with M. Andrade at the earliest possible time.

Math:
Part one of the test is done and corrected: you can expect to see it tonight.  Please take a few moments to look it over.  Tomorrow's test will show how your child can apply and communicate his or her understanding of patterning.  Some things to study:
1. Odd and even series of numbers (how to create...)
2. How to derive an algebraic expression from a series (explain in words the steps)
3. Looking at a physical series (shapes), explain the series and continue it


English:
The class is continuing their work with Mme Wackett (dramatic monologues).

Math:
Part one of the test is done and is coming home tonight.  Please take a few moments to look it over with your child.  The second part of the test will see how well your child can communicate his or her knowledge of patterning.

English:
Homework: I gave a handout with a sample "context" response to a quote.  The commentary is there, but only 3/4 done.  Your child's task is to add to the commentary, making specific references to how the quote reveals something about the character Devan.  It's due tomorrow; I, like a sanitation engineer, will be picking it up.
