Merry Christmas or Santa Day

Hello....

WOOOHOOO!! It's Christmas day!! I got a Shuffle... a watch... lipstick... and earrings!! YAY!

Hehe.... And in about an hour's time I'm going to start making the Turkey! It's so much fun and so rewarding when the bird comes out of the oven! Mmmmm!

Anyhow... I'm not going to post any work here... it's the holidays and you're allowed to relax... I'll make you work on the 27th or something!! haha!!

I'm all packed for Calgary! Is anyone else going anywhere?

Stay safe!

UPDATE!

On my way home from Jury duty, I figured out what to do with your upcoming assessment. I think I'm being nice for doing this, but I'm sure someone is not going to like it...

Anyhow... Wednesday, you're going to have a MAJOR QUIZ, NOT a TEST! As you know, I've marked the mini quizzes you guys wrote, and I'm not too happy with the overall results. Some of you did well.. others of you did okay, but I think a third of the class needs more help.

So... on Wednesday, you're going to have a quiz on Polynomials (the whole of chapter 6). And after we do chapter 7, we are going to have a TEST on chapter 3, 6 and 7 at once.

That means, you don't have to review chapter 3 just yet! I really need you to focus on Chapter 6s review questions.

Please tell the class/supply teacher what I said... Print a copy out if you think the supply won't believe you.

Expect the quiz to take anywhere from 30 - 50 minutes. And it will include application, communication and thinking questions.

Study hard and I'll be online to help you if you need me... I could be gone for the whole entire week! :(

For those of you celebrating holidays.... happy holiday... (someone explain to me the difference between Dhawali and Eid.... I'm confused)

The mark page is posted here.... you might have to copy and paste this in the URL line.. .I don't think the direct link works.

Those of you who got 31 or less have a lot of work to do. I hope you can help each other with understanding this chapter.

Quizzes Marked!

Ladies and Gents,

I'm bored to death, sitting here in the Jury Lounge. I don't think I'll be back in school until maybe Friday. That's what the Jury Staff told me. The test is still happening on Wednesday, but I am thinking of having a two part test. When I marked your quizzes, many of you didn't do as well as I wanted you to. That means that I might have 2 tests for you and mark the best of the 2. I haven't decided yet, but I don't want to test you on something that you haven't learned properly. And yet, some of you have grasped this topic soo well that there's no point to dragging the test on for another week.

Um.. I'm trying to publish the marks on my site. Blogger doesn't allow for posts... stay tuned for a link to get the marks.. The internet connection down here sucks... so I'm not going to do it at the court house.

Take care... and someone report to me the happenings of the class today.. I'm anxious to know how well behaved you were!!

Missing you.....

Study Study!

Last week passed so quickly. I didn't even realized that I haven't updated the blog for one whole week. Oops!

Luckily I see all of you everyday and you have learnt to help each other out. Next week (or at least Monday), this will be the only place where I'll be able to communicate with you! Tell me what happens in class and how the supply teacher was.

I trust that you will be on your best behaviour and lots of studying will be happening. The test is on Wednesday and it will cover both chapter 3 and chapter 6s material.

The tiny quiz that we did today in class will be marked over the weekend. I will try to post your marks here and the full solutions to the quiz will be up online on Monday night or so. I'll try to get online often on Monday to answer your questions.

Take care, and have a great weekend!

The next chapter

I hope you all did well on the quiz/test today. I'm going to have a lot of fun marking them... NOT!

As you've read on the board, we are plowing straight ahead into polynomials. Most of you will find the beginning of that chapter very easy. Be warned though, you can't slack. The basics need to be learned well so that you'll be fine in the later parts of the chapter.

The homework assigned was p. 300 - 301, # 1 - 56 EO, 57 EO part, 58 EO part!!

Have a good weekend and stay safe and warm!

No Posts!

Life has been really busy since I took up that extra job, and I still haven't caught up with everything.

Tomorrow, we will be doing a bit of review. And if I have time, some sort of extention/TIPs questions. And I'm thinking of something else too.. but I won't tell you yet.

Tonight's homework is the square roots section and if you haven't already. Start working on the review. I can't tell you what's on the quiz on Friday, because it hasn't been written yet. I'll update you on the blog Thursday night.

Anyhow... I do want to remind those receipents of the yellow slips to inform your parents and come promptly to my room. I just found out today that Counting On You will be using my room after school, so we will have to move to maybe Room 208 for the extra help.

Talk to you later... gotta brush/sleep!! good night!

Rational Numbers

We learned about real numbers today, meaning that we covered the idea of both rational and irrational numbers. The homework assigned was page. 121 # 1 - 79 EO. I don't think they are hard questions, but you might need to "see" the numbers in your head. Practice doing that on the invisible number line you have in your brain. We'll be going on to multiplying and dividing rational numbers tomorrow. There might be alot of homework for the long weekend. Sorry!

Thursday night is grade 9 curriculum night. Please once again encourage your parents to come. The event starts at 7:00 in the cafeteria. Even if you have to be late, I highly suggest that you and your parents attend. The school loves parental involvement in your education and I would love to see them.

Good night, good night!

Lazy Miss Shou

As you can see I haven't been updating the blog recently. Most of you know about the big news over the weekend, and I am sick too .... It doesn't leave too much time and energy to tell you what is happening.

Speaking of which, what is happening?
Today we took up the test today and we will be looking at rational numbers tomorrow. The other class had time for a scientific notation worksheet, but I think I'm going to skip that with your class. I'll give it to you as review later on. We will be spending the rest of the week on fractions, so please be ready. I have begun to lose my voice so don't make me yell at you!!

Cough cough... I'll talk to you later!
