The Room 6 Readers spent three days with their classes held in the front hall. They had walls put up to make it look like a little room. These are some comments from the boys when they came back to the classroom: Luke - I like the classrom better. I didn't like being in the hall. Chris C. - It was too noisy and too cold. I wouldn't want to be there forever. Dennis - It was all right. Nathan - I wouldn't like it for a room. Chris M. - It was ok. They all agree that it's better in the classroom!

Parents are encouraged to contact the school to arrange for a parent - teacher conference on Wednesday, November 25.

The report card may be kept at home for future reference but the envelope must be signed and returned to the classroom teacher.
