Hello!
This message is to wish you an enjoyable, relaxing Fall Break (if that is the kind of break you like). I am grateful to the Room 33 students for turning the corner on following directions. They are more responsive to instructions and it really helps!
Toastmasters -
We talked about Toastmasters on Wednesday, but I wasn't able to get information out in paper form yet. I demonstrated an informative speech and compared it to a persuasive speech. Students are welcome to get started if they would like to, or they can wait until returning from break. They will still have two weeks (+) to compose and practice a speech before they are due (October 23rd -for people who want to compete for the right to represent Room 33 at the MPR; or any day of that week for people who want a day or two more -they won't be eligible to give a speech at the MPR).
I sent home the Island of the Blue Dolphins spelling test and reading quiz, as well as the behavioral Percentage for the week -please inspect.
I'll be heading to Disneyland on Monday of the break, and then visiting the Modesto area the rest of the week.
Have fun!
Sincerely,
Mr. McElroy
