THE LEGEND OF YUKNONUN

I left British Columbia
To go see my friend AL(berta)
He was full of SAS(katchewan),
For a MAN(itoba)

In search of some vitamin Q(uebec)
But instead found two dogs named New Foundland and Labrador
I ventured on in search of something NEW (Brunswick)
And asked the PRINCE (Edward Island) for money
But he said NO(va Scotia)

RV Passes Suspended!

I will NOT be issuing any passes for the RV Projects during the next two weeks. Students must work on their project at home or find some other time to complete them. Three class periods and two additional months seems like plenty of time to me to finish this project.
