1.  French quiz Thursday- we all studied with cue cards in class today. Bring home duotang to look over.  Try to remember that a lot of your mark in French is for your oral participation, but quizzes and tests count as well.  Spelling French words correctly does not count on tests, but it is a good idea to try to spell correctly.
2.  Math test # 2 - adding and subtracting decimals- Thursday.  Try to reinforce that numbers that seem like they do not have decimals really have the decimal at the end:

25   is really 25.0

3.  Remembrance Day Poster Contest- working on it at home is optional right now.

4.   Alliterations-try to have these "fixed" and ready for pictures by Thursday.

Some students have been very loud, screaming in the hallways during class time, whether they are going to the bathroom or finished work and heading out for a lap or 2.  Yesterday, I had to tell the whole class that there was no more running for the day.
 We will continue to do our laps as usual but there may be a couple kids who are not permitted for a few days.  We need to respect other classes who are trying to work, especially if I allow students to get up and do laps throughout the day.  Thanks for reinforcing this with your kids.
