FAREWELL ZAHIDA!!!

On behalf of 8C and myself, I would like to thank you Zahida for everything you have contributed to our class, the school, and the community!  You are the perfect example of what it means to make a difference to others.  I hope that you enjoyed the presentation today and I hope you realized just how important you are and have been to our class!!!  This afternoon, it was very clear that you have rubbed off of many students in our class as well as myself.  We don't always get recognized for our good deeds and for the contributions that we make in life... but I hope today you felt appreciated and recognized by our class!!!

8C, I also want to thank all of you for helping make today possible for Zahida's final day.... Today I saw compassion, caring, kindness, and appreciation from all of you!  I know I have said it before, but today you made me realize how lucky and fortunate I am to be your homeroom teacher.  I have seen so much growth and maturity in so many of you and that was clearly evident today!!!

Zahida, you will be greatly missed and I thank you for being such a compassionate and incredible young lady!!!  All the best to you and have a safe flight to Afghanistan. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Diletto & 8C

HOPE YOU HAD AN AMAZING TIME!!!

Hey 8Cers!!!

It was so great to see everyone having a great time today running the Amazing Math Race!!!  You all finished the race faster than I anticipated... and it was great to see all of the groups working together and demonstrating sportsmanship!!!  And you are all lucky that I let you pop those balloons near me!!!  

I think I was almost over my phobia... except for when Filip came to the station and popped 2 balloons right in my face!!!  Sadly, I still don't like balloons!!! hehe...

I am very happy with the way things turned out today and I am very happy that you all had an AMAZING time!!! CONGRATULATIONS to all teams!!!

HOMEWORK/REMINDERS:

1)  MATH -->  UNIT TEST TOMORROW
