Howdy Grade 8,
I have made it to Olds, AB safe and sound! I hope you all had productive day with Mrs. M. Remember, just because I am away for the week doesn't mean you will not have homework. We don't want to develop bad habits after a great start to the year. Please make sure you copy your lessons down off the homework board. I will post what I know you need to have done this week. Have an awesome week and see you when I get back!!
