Housekeeping: 
-  Grade 7 Parents: don't forget on Tuesday to send your child to school with lots of warm layers and a decent pack lunch (our field trip to Sainte-Marie).

- Grade 8 Parents: the permission form for the trip to Aurora High is now late.

- Grade 8 Parents: a list of all high school open house events can be found here

- Tennis balls - bring one to class!  We are still 4 short

- The sign up for parent-teacher interviews came home (the large blue form).  Some items to remember about setting up an interview:
1. It's first come, first serve
2. If you have more than one child in the school, only submit ONE form.  Send it to school with the eldest child.


Kudos to: Kyle, for missing out on the Spooky Stories to help a friend catch up in math.

Math:

- Times Tables : we did the baseline evaluation today.  If you scored less than perfect you will need to practice DAILY your times tables. The app for the evaluation is here: 30 questions, numbers 1-10, and 5 seconds per question.  Strategies we discussed for improvement: writing out the times tables, using the tricks (all numbers multiplied by 9 add together to make 9 e.g. 7 x 9 = 63 (6+3 =9!)  9 x 5 = 45 (4+5 = 9).  Another simple strategy is to chant it.  Ultimately, there's no substitute for hard work here: you will need to put in the time to learn these.  
- We took up last year's math tests and I provided a sample answer for each one as a template.  Courtney made a second set of word problems to solve.  Complete them online (due FRIDAY).

-

- We will be having our integers test the Monday after Halloween.  It will cover the following topics: adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing integers.  There will be word problems...

Housekeeping : Man, I miss you guys!  Tomorrow, I will be sending a message to all parents via EDSBY which will include my office hours, how I will be teaching, and means of communicating with me.  Parents: through repeated efforts, I (with the help of some parents) discovered that when I send a group message via EDSBY, it's a one-way street; there is no way for parents to respond (kind of like a blog post).  As such, I will save Board-related messages for EDSBY, and daily work will be posted here on the blog.  You can always email me at marc.lemoine@yrdsb.ca any questions, and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.   KUDOS:  To everyone who respects social distancing QOTD:  "This should be over by March Break..." GOOD NEWS VIEWS: People around the world are taking a moment in the evening to cheer on our front line health care workers.  Video English: -  Math: -  Geography : -  French : -   -  Science : -  Heal
