It is a long weekend, have fun but be careful. See you on Monday.
I have early morning duty next week so that means that I will only be available at noon and after school.
NOTE: You may come up to the room at noon if you are going to do work or make up time. Some still owe me washroom time from last week.
There are still five students who have not sent me their E-mail address(mostly grade 7) and there are at least 13 students who have not brought in their boxes of facial tissue (i.e. Kleenex). When you don't bring your boxes, I end up paying for them and I do not really want to buy 30 boxes of tissue.
I accidentally deleted the blog for Sept 22.
P.S. My computer is acting up and words are popping up all over the place. This happened with my last computer just about a month before it died. I am just warning you that sometimes a word may be missing or pop up somewhere unexpectedly. I will exercise due diligence BUT it means that I have to check everything that I write, over, over, and over.
