Math: 
This week in math the students wrote their mid term exam. This pertained to all four chapters we studied in the first term. Students prepared for this exam through extensive reviews in class last week as well as studying  and reviewing last week and during the long weekend. The chapters and review pages are mentioned in last weeks blog. Students wrote the written portion on Tuesday and were given two additional periods Wednesday and Thursday for the second part of the exam (the multiple choice portion). On Friday we went over part A (written portion) together and reviewed all the concepts included in that part. Students had the opportunity to look over their exam and ask questions.

**Please check Power School as marks/results for the mid-term exam will be posted there soon. 

* *Students that were absent during this mid-term will have the opportunity to take the exam upon their return. It is the students responsibility to study and review with the use of their notes and textbook during their absence (when possible).
