Tomorrow, students will start the day with a morning of silence.  We will use the time to reflect and work individually on projects.

 Welcome Back to Week 8!  That's right, only 8 weeks left of grade 7.

In Language Arts, we have started Literature Circles.  The first weekly summary is due on Wednesday, May 5th.  Please note that Character Attribute Outlines are due on Tuesday, May 11th. This coming Wednesday we will meet with Elphi staff to welcome our grade 7s!  There will be a parent meeting as well.  Please check your email boxes for a zoom invite. In Math,  our pre-test was today, the test will be tomorrow.  If you'd like a practice question, please see the one below: This is the last week to c...
