May 29, 2017

We are entering our last few days of May. Then there's June. But we have a lot more learning to do.

We started the day with a great guest speaker from the Terry Fox Foundation. He is a brain cancer survivor. He had quite a moving and remarkable journey to share with us about his rare form of cancer (three people in North America ever).

This week we'll review and catch up on routines and subjects. I offered an extra homework club today at lunch in addition to my Thursday homework help. Some students who attended were more distracting than seeking clarification.

Spring Concert: Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
Meet at room 201 at 6 p.m.
Students in our class are asked to wear a black shirt.
