What's happening lately in Room 9Teen?

With only a month or so left of school, Ms Legault's class is busy wrapping up and reviewing. The grade 6's have been preparing hard for their EQAO, which begins next week. The grade 8's are preparing a resume that they can use to gain summer employment. Trent and Ms. Legault worked hard to box all the clothing from James' clothing drive for its' destination in Afghanistan. This month's theme is initiative. Students are helping to prepare a slideshow which focuses on the Talent show and the wonderful initiative many students had demonstrated. Conner has demonstrated initiative by attending Ms. Phelan's language classes. Brandon P. has demonstrated initiative by building a new home for Bow-bo. Everyone is participating in reading assessments, which we hope to complete next week in anticipation for our final report cards. Thanks to all the students who completed their work on bullying. Congratulations to Jake for all his fine work. Lots of end of the year trips have been planned, and we are all looking forward to lots of fun and exciting events once we get through all the necessary work.
