You may be asked to send in some strange items over the course of the next several weeks.  We are currently working on two plays.  The students should memorize their lines at home.  We plan to present our play to Ms. White's class in two weeks.

Today the students enjoyed a presentation about how to create a logo.  The contest is sponsored by the YMCA.

As promised on the Math test outline, today I sent home some Math work that your child completed during our current unit.  There is no need to sign and return this work right away as I know your child can make use of it for review purposes.  You can have your child return the signed work to me on Friday of this week or next week.

Today we were extremely lucky to have former Premier Danny Williams visit our school.  Carter did a great job asking him if he thought that he made any mistakes as Premier. Allison was also terrific when she told Mr. Williams that our class thought he was a wealthy man because he sold Cable Atlantic to Rogers for a healthy profit.  I'm sure all parents wish they could have been there.
