Salut mes élèves,

This is a reminder that you will be having a quiz on Passé Composé avec être next week. La date pour le quiz est jeudi le 21 mai (Day 3). You must make sure you know the verb être, plus the DR & MRS VANDERTRAMP verbs, including their meaning and past participle (participe passé).

May 11, 2026 These are some things for you to remember after the real life algebra lessons

Mortgage or buying a car. What you should do to minimize your interest payment over time

• Be nice to your parents

• Put as much down payment as possible (even if you have to skip a vacation or take a part time job). At least 30% of the item

• Pay (rapid) biweekly instead of monthly

• No difference in interest payment between weekly and biweekly

• Pack your own lunch, and you dont need to have the newest gadgets in the market

• Balance between academic, work and life style

• Raymond should have rented out the basement of his townhouse so he can have more income
