The Final Blog!

Just wanted to wish you all the very best of luck (although luck favours the prepared) and know I am thinking of you all tomorrow morning.

You are in my prayers but  I know you will all do fine.

Have an excellent summer (remember what  I said about time) and let me encourage you to read a book--just for fun! (ha, imagine that).

Take care, my future grads. See you in the fall.

Correction!

The study session has been moved to Wednesday morning @ 9am, as I am unable to be at school Thursday afternoon.
I realize some of you have French Wednesday morning, and others of you Bio Thursday morning. I chose the time that I thought would impact the least amount of people. I am invigilating at other times so am unable to accommodate you then.
If you need help come when you can, I will be here Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning, and Thursday morning.
Email me if you can not attend but have questions!
Hope this helps.

HELP!

At the request of a student, I will be setting up a study session in my class this Thursday at 1pm.
It will be for one block in length (so ending around 2 or 230ish.
All are welcome and encouraged.
I will be reviewing Ch. 13 and making my old Provincials and quiz cards available.
Come one, come all.

There is no homework!

so...eeyah...
