Cafe Day!

We are nearing the end of our novel, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, and it has been an entertaining story.  During cafe, many interesting conversations could be heard.  Questions such as -  "How do you think this will end?", or comments such as, "I don't think I could be without my dog this long.  I would miss him too much." could be heard.  We all want to know how Claudia and Jamie will return home.  By next cafe, we'll know! 

Along with cafe, we met for our weekly class meeting.  Today's topic involved bullying in the cafeteria.  Most students say that this is one place where some bullying occurs.  Name calling, foul language, and other offensive things can happen without adults noticing.  We had a great discussion, and one of the best things to happen was to find out how confident we are feeling when it comes to intervening when bullying is happening.  Many of us feel more inclined to step in than we had at the beginning of the school year. 

Today is progress report day!  It'll be the last one for this school year.  The main thing to remember is that the year is not over!  Don't let up!  Keep working hard!
