Friday, September 23rd

NEWS: Gerry, thank you for doing such a wonderful job on your Star Student presentations throughout the week! You rock! It was wonderful to hear you read to us and to see everyone listen so intently to your book.

Chantel, please bring all of your Star Student supplies on Monday for your week!

HOMEWORK: Please read for 20 minutes or more each day this weekend.  You do not have any HRL over the weekend (yet). Great work to those students who completed their HRL (Home Reading Log) all week long! What a great way to start off!

Today in class we talked about the gospel for this upcoming Sunday. It is all about the choices we make everyday in our lives.  Please share your paper with your family and talk about the good and bad choices you make everyday.  How can you change those "bad" choices to be "good" ones at home and at school? How do your choices effect your life? How do your choices efffect the lives of others around you?
