For those of you heading to SAIT, enjoy your day tomorrow.  I hope you have your paperwork all taken care of.

Remember that your Atomic History (Really Smart Dead Guys) sheet is due for Wednesday.  I know this is not the most exciting part of the course but it is really important to know this as all the high schools are spending a ton of time on it.  Best to keep a half step ahead!!!

You will have a computer class on Wednesday to finish up the element project, print, send emails to print in colour etc.  If it gets done this week great...if we don't build the table until next week, let's not worry too much.
