Don't forget to bring money (only if you want and can) for the tshirt charity.

It was great to be back

Thank you Lloyd for congratulating Yemaan. I would also like to thank him for representing 8Galli. Just try your best...that's all we can ask. Tomorrow, I'm going to show the class the movie about how badly the Natives were treated. I think you'll like it. We will also do some work on Mythology. Congratulations to Sohum for making it to the semi-finals in track and field. Perhaps, I'll let everyone join in on another auction tomorrow!

Math and Mythology

Just wondering how everything is going. Are you enjoying the mythology unit? Are you having any problems with the math? I will drop off your first math tests tomorrow morning. Don't worry too much...this test was for me to see if you are understanding the math. The test is only 10% of your grade. You will have another math test on Monday. Now, is the time to start clearing up and questions you have or things you don't understand. Ms. Meynell will take up the test tomorrow and you should follow closely along to clarify the math.
I'm still getting reports about naughty boys...you know who you are. This needs to stop. The month of June brings really good things...don't ruin your fun by misbehaving while I'm away.

Changing Blog Address

I'm trying to decide whether it's better to simply change the blog address or actually investigate the individual/s who are penetrating this blog. I know the person/people involved are students at Valley Park so it won't be that difficult to track them down. It sure would be a shame to have a student expelled in the last month of school. It's amazing what the police can track down. We once had a student writing bad things about another student while claiming to be someone else. They were charged with uttering and expelled from VP.
Yemaan...I know you didn't write the comment so don't worry.
Ms. Galli
