Hello Everyone,

I am unfortunately sicker than I was last week and can't come to school today.  I'm going to see if I can get into the Doctor today.  Hopefully I will be back tomorrow. 

This means that I had to postpone the Writing Mentor session we had planned with the grade 11's.  We will try for next week, so don't lose or delete those paragraphs!

Mr. Farquhar is kind enough to come in today and I expect that you will truly be on your best behaviour.  With what I have planned, it should be easy to not be quite as talkative as you usually are on Mondays. 

For the first 20 minutes, Mr. Farquhar will go over this blog with you (Weekly planning sheet follows this note), take prayer requests and then pray. (He can decide if he wants you to pray for each other or he can pray.)

Then you will go for your walk and be back at close to 9:20 for P.E..  Thomas and crew can set up nets while the rest are on the walk. 

Make sure you do a good stretch and warm up like I do.  Who wants to lead it? 

The boys can decide if they just want to rally and have fun with the rest of the class, or they can try to break that 4 way tie for first place. 

At about 10:00, take down the nets and put them carefully and properly back.  (Thomas, can you supervise this?)

RECESS

Look over the sheet you will fill out afterwards, then start watching the movie.
