Friday Night

     So here I am on a drizzly Friday night sitting in my recliner tapping away on my iPad. I just finished reading many fantastic students accounts of their first three weeks of grade seven. I enjoyed hearing their enthusiasm about using the iPads, being student leaders on cross country day and taking on new responsibilities such as lunch monitoring.
     Hearing their challenges is also helpful in shaping where we go from here. It's okay if you aren't a runner and wish the Trail had a pool, and it only makes you stronger to muttle through your homework or three laps of the cross country trail.
      I can't promise that there won't be struggles filling the gaps in between the laughter but with fantastic students like mine we are sure to have an incredible year.

By the way Katie, come June Mr. price won't stand a chance:)

* some helpful tips

A number next to a bracket means to multiply:

I.e., 3(4) is the same as 3 x 4

A number over another means to divide:

24 

 3

Is the same as 24 divided by 3

Which is the same as 24/3
