Is there anybody out there?

So, nobody said "apple sauce" to me today, except for Mr. Stardom who was actually talking about apple sauce believe it or not. So I am guessing that no one looked at the site yesterday. :(

Friday's bonus mark phrase is "nice chalk". Remember you must say this to Mr. Hainstock BEFORE class begins and it's bonus marks for you. ;)

Homework News

ELA 20F - In-class Success worksheet.
Media Literacy - No homework.

Welcome to Class

This is the place where Mr. Hainstock will be posting homework and notices regularly.

For 5 bonus marks! Tomorrow (Thursday) before class starts discretely approach Mr. H and say the word "apple sauce". This will let me know you've actually checked out the site.
