Housekeeping:
- Students should now be finished the novel they are going to present for the book talk. Students will have the option to present BEFORE or AFTER the winter break. Yes, they have a choice - all should be ready to go before the break, but if some students would like the extra time of the break to practice, that's fine by me. If someone wants to get it done and fully relax before the break, that's o.k. by me too.
- I have added a new Topic on the GC called "QUIZLET". This is a place where I will add links to electronic flashcards to practice our current topics of study. I posted a bevy of quizlets this weekend, and they serve as an excellent way to review what we're studying when you have a few minutes. Currently there are French, History, and Math links.

Health/Phys-Ed:
- We are moving one step closer to our 12 minute run - we're now running for 7 minutes! Some kids are struggling with this and need to be more active outside of school. Feel free to say the following a la 1970s style: "Mr. Le Moine said I need to kick you off the couch and get you outside until the lights come on."
