Literacy Week Origin Myths

Happy Birthday Rachelle and Christine!

Yearbook Photos - Update

To avoid having to call the number above, please be sure that you read the instructions below:

1. Please wear what you want to be wearing in your yearbook photo when you arrive at school. You may wear it over your PE shirt or change into your PE shirt later.
2. Please don't wear white. It creates problems with contrast in yearbook photos.
3. Check your face for snack crumbs and toothpaste before going down to have your photograph taken.
4. Remind Mr. Robus to check his own face for snack crumbs and toothpaste before he goes down to have his photograph taken.
5. White hair is a part of aging. Please don't try to use a dark whiteboard marker to hide yours. Remind Mr. Robus that this rule applies to him especially.

Subtracting Mixed Numbers

Quite a few citizens had some trouble with some of these questions today. Be sure that you understand (and ask me if you don't) today, rather than discovering that you are still a bit confused on Friday's test.

The Origin Story of the Bashongo People

A Universe from Vomit: The Creation Story of Mbombo

All cultures and religions have their creation stories - some seem more familiar and others perhaps seem farfetched. One creation story is of the god Mbombo who vomited the world, humans, and the universe into existence. Most creation stories start with one all-powerful individual that is responsible for creating all things in the universe, but few versions begin with indigestion!
