Happy May 1st! We've been busy painting and Mr. Laroya is the best teacher ever. Whenever I need to leave the class, it's always so relieving to know that I am leaving my class in his capable hands. The gratitude that I feel for his sheer existence is almost indescribable! Mr. Laroya, if you are ever able to read this...Thank you for being you!

And no - none of the above was written by me.  This is what happens when I leave the room for 20 minutes and Mr. Laroya is here.

Reminders:

- math page 197 # 1- 9

- research your local candidate.

- Friday is a pro-d

- note recognition quiz to be signed for Mr. Tse for Wednesday
