Glad to see the sun even if it is later in the day- this morning was difficult to get any energy going. I have been suffering with a heavy cold that has managed to lodge itself deep in my chest- I was away yesterday and back today.
Thanks to Mrs. Drew my TOC yesterday. I do feel a bit better for taking the day to rest.
Just finished (4:10pm) a small group math tutoring session with six grade seven students who stayed after school for a quick review and some activites on balancing equations. It was a nice size of group and everyone seemed to understand the concept of isolating the variable and making sure to balance both sides before solving. We did one and two step equations. The students have requested adding and subtracting integers next week.
