8/25 - Final moments of Summer (for me)... Here we go... 8/31 - Just think, after today, there's only 185 days of school until Summer vacation... 9/14- Today, the entire grade (actually, I think it was the entire school) took a three minute CORE Reading Maze Comprehension test. Don't forget - Friday is picture day! Look beautiful!!! 10/15 - OK, who forgot to pay the heating bill??? Seriously, who forgot??? Snow in the middle of October? Oh man, not a good start... 11/27 - I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving break. Don't forget that your book reports are due in a couple of weeks. Please pay attention to deadlines - time will move very quickly as we rapidly approach our Winter/Christmas break. Remember, if you have any questions - either on your book report or on anything we do in class, please ask. My job is to support you in your learning. 12/1- IT'S DECEMBER - DON'T PANIC!!!!! YOU'LL GET YOUR SHOPPING DONE! 12/10- I will give a one day, penalty free extension, to Periods F and H on your book reports. 12/13- This just in...: I went shopping with my wife yesterday at West Farms Mall AND I survived!!!!!!! I didn't even complain (truly a great stride if you were to ask my wife!). 12/16- Pay attention, you might find something "special" lurking on this site! 12/23- I wish all of my students, their families and my co-workers the healthiest and happiest of holidays. See you next year.
