Your time to socialize is during your breaks not while I am trying to teach the class.

I hope that everyone had a good weekend. I wasn't too happy that only two people got their Äctions and Reactions" homework done. If it isn't handed in tomorrow you will be staying in at lunch to get it done. Remember it needs to be done neatly and written in complete sentences.

We are going to the library tomorrow so bring your books. We are also using the time in there to work on your speeches. You may look for resources in the library for your speech.

I also expect all the pages back from the "Spirit Horse".

See you tomorrow!

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Remember to bring in any book orders. You also need to know what your speech topic is and start researching about it. Everyone should be doing their chart from Actions and Reactions on television viewing. It is due on Monday.

Look for any library books that you have signed out because we will be going on Tues. and you can return them then.

Do not be late for school on Monday because we are going to see The Spirit Horse. Be good and have fun!
