Congrats to the students who recieved recognition awards today. Awards were given to students for the outstanding example they set in our classroom and in french.

Most of the students in our room have a homework free week-end :) :)

Some students did bring home their art projects to finish as we are putting the blocks together to make a paper quilt and would like to get that finished. Four students still need to pass in the book report that was due on Tuesday & I am still waiting for 6, 1X fact activities.

Of course the next book report is coming up and I expect that everyone will read on the week-end for the simple enjoyment of reading. I checked most of the students book choices today, those who needed to make changes had time to do that. A few had left their books home, all students were reminded that bringing their book report book to school each day is part of their homework. It will be those students responsibility to check their books out with me on Monday.

I hope everyone has a great week-end.

Mrs. Murphy

(:(:There will not be any homework over the long weekend(: (:
I do hope that people will continue to read each day however as reading should be a fun activity and not a chore. I never consider reading to be part of assigned homework. I'd like to take this opportunity to say how much I've been enjoying my year and what a joy it is to be teaching your children. I hope you continue to check our blog for information and homework clearification. If there is anything we can do to make it more parent friendly please do not hesitate to leave a message as they all go through my e-mail before the children see them. (just another way to improve on parent/school communication)
Thanks Mrs.Murphy
