Conferences galore

Hello,

It's my least favorite time of the year: preparing report cards.  I like the conferences.  I don't like preparing for them.  It might be better if I was more organized. (Where in the world did I put those spelling grades?!)   It is all worth it in the end, but it is a bit of a frazzled time. 

On top of that, I had a schedule change today which makes it impossible for us to have Movie Club on Thursday.  I will be at an IEP meeting right after school and one can never tell how long that they will last. 

I repeat: Movie Club is cancelled on Thursday the 20th. 

That is this Thursday. 

I'm sorry for the late notice.  I have some conferences scheduled for that night and I can still do those, but if you only scheduled them then because of Movie Club, we can change to another day/night if you would like. 

We got another letter from our former classmate who moved south on us.  It is always great to hear from her.  She let us know that she is doing well learning the countries and capitals of the world.  She also sent us a picture of herself in her Halloween costume. 

Our class finally took their chemistry test today.  I'll try to get those all corrected tonight, but I'm sure your child will have a sense on how they did. 

We also got into the computer lab today to start typing out final drafts of our persuasive letters.  The students have done a good job of writing drafts and getting these things as close to perfect as they can.  I'll be anxious to see and hear your reactions.

I'm not sure that I'll be getting around to the blog for the rest of the week.  I have conferences after school every day for the next week and if I'm not involved in one, I'll be preparing for the next.  Thanks for understanding.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Mr. Shea
