I guess it really IS a song (though not a very good one)!
This week's Student of the Week is Tomas M (someone send me a photo!).
I know what you are saying right now: "Wait a minute, Mr. Wadge! How on Earth can TOMAS be the Student of the Week? After all he is only a grade 11 student! Grade ELEVEN!! By now everyone has figured out that you need to be a grade TWELVE student (or even have GRADUATED) to be the Student of the Week! So what's going on Wadge!?!?" Relax everybody (sheesh! Touchy-touchy). Turns out that Tomas is leaving us soon (returning to Chile) and I thought it would be nice to say pleasant things about him before he's gone. Of course, I have not known Tomas very long (just since September of this year) but, in that short time, I have come to think very fondly of him. He is a very warm and friendly person. It's no wonder that he (seems to) make friends easily. Tomas always has a smile on his face, is quick to laugh, and is pretty darn funny himself. Who doesn't like being around someone like THAT?!? Tomas was on the Cross-Country team this year. He had to come in the top 20 (in the fifth race) to qualify for Provincials. Before the race he expressed some nervousness: "hope I can make it into the top 20. It's going to be close", etc. It was quite surprising after the race when Tomas did indeed finish in 20th place. Not because I thought he would do worse but because when I excitedly informed him: "you did it, Tomas! You qualified for Provincials!! Congratulations!! Should I write your name down now on the Provincial registration form?", Tomas looked me in the eye, smiled, and responded simply, "No. I'm not going". Whaaaaat!!! Tomas!! Not sure what his reason was (didn't want to miss Halloween?) but it was pretty funny. And I'm still proud of you for all your determined running, Tomas! Tomas is a strong Math student. Not sure if this is a "Chile" thing or a "Tomas" thing but he has done extremely well in PreCalculus 11 this year. Even more impressive to me is how willing (eager?) he is to participate in class. If I was to spend time in a foreign country - especially one where my first language was not spoken - I think I would be rather tentative or withdrawn during class discussions. Not Tomas! He is always sharing answers and ideas. Much appreciated (and very impressive) Tomas! Tomas, I will be very sorry to see you leave next month. You have been a valuable part of my Block H class and I know that you will be missed. I feel very lucky to have had you in my class. I hope you enjoyed your time in Canada and that you will come back one day (soon!). Thanks for being such a fun, friendly, determined, personable student! ¡Usted es fantástica! NEW BJORK!!! And it was a surprise release!!! PLUS... Antony singing backup on this song!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAAPPY!!!! I LOOOOOOOVE it!! The first math contests of the year are just over a month away!
The Pascal, Cayley and Fermat Contests for students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 will be written on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 during the first block of the day (1-2). This is the week of the 2.5 hour classes. Students will start the contest (which is one hour) just after 8:30 and be in their class at 9:45 at the latest. Here is the information:

Come enjoy one of these cozy sleep-desks!23/1/2015 The 28-year-old Spaniard insisted he was not match fit in the wake of a right wrist injury and appendix surgery that sidelined him for much of the last half of 2014.
Courier tried to get Nadal to quantify how he feels, asking him on a scale of 0 to 100 percent how does he feel physically? Courier, who won four Grand Slams before retiring, waited as Nadal gave a long response that didn't answer the questions. He pressed him again. ''I want a number,'' Courier said. The crowd laughed, and Nadal did, too. ''I was never very good at mathematics,'' Nadal said. |
