I have no scheduled duty during this short week. If you need help or need to write a Quiz please come and get it done or it will be recorded as a zero.
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. I like this colour for a background.
There are still six students who have not sent me their E-mail address(mostly grade 7) and there are at least 15 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 notreally 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.
