Excellent initiative, spearheaded by the Student Council.

The Grade 7s have a trip next week.

In Math, we are in the last of topics (for now) in the Number Sense strand.  The topic we are looking at Integers.

We add to this, as we move forward.

One of the tricky aspects of working with Integers involves subtraction or working with the idea of Difference.  A lot of the technical aspects of this are posted in the Math section on Google Classroom.  It seems as though most of the thought and energy for the subject-specific material is posted there.  

I do miss posting on the blog, but it is hard for me to find the time.  Google Classroom seems to be more accessible for the students so I will focus on that space.

If you are a parent and have any questions about the class or the program, please drop me a line at my TDSB email address.    Enjoy your weekend.  Thanks to the parent(s)/guardian(s)/extended family members who came out to meet with me for the Progress Report conferences.
