Happy New Year and Welcome Back!

The following items were on the homework board today:

1) Pick a suitable Biography topic (person) by Tuesday January 8th to bring non-internet materials by Wed. Jan. 9

**I had hoped your children would discuss with you a good person to investigate.  In other words, some people have more material available about them because they're so iconic.  Others (IE: the newest person) might be too new to the scene to really have their story all told.  If your child has chosen a person and you know there are non-internet materials available, but it might take an extra day or two to get them, that's ok, so long as they understand that they should be striving to use more than just the internet to research.  Also, I hope it is assumed that I would never expect anyone to buy books or other materials.  I have seen many subjects successfully researched with materials from the local libraries.

20 Journal due Tuesday

3) Math - Grade 6 sheets D8 and 9 due Wed.
Grade 7 p. 169 due Tuesday
