Hello Parents and Students!
I was absent from school today because of a cold, hopefully the class was on their best behaviour! The supply teacher should have given the following for homework:
Homework:
1.) Math Sheet (graphing data)
2.) Inferring (Facts/Questions/Inferences) reading response for one chapter of the book you are currently reading
I will also be away tomorrow for a workshop! We will have the same supply teacher, Mr. Mills.
