THE SIMPLE THINGS

Students,

I hope you enjoy having a lighter week work-wise, but I really want you to understand the importance of the task that has been set before you. Sometimes we do not take the simple things as seriously as we should. That said, I hope that each of you realizes that while this week's assignment may seem rather simple, it still has the potential to impact another person's life.

That, dear students, is the beauty of writing. It impacts, influences, and inspires. Words have the power to change lives! Take this week's assignment and put your heart into it. Simple words, simple phrases, those things that you have left unsaid all year--now is the time to say the positive words of encouragement that everyone longs to hear.

I am sure all of us will do our best with the assignment given to us. All of my wonderful classmates (except Nathan! HA! lol jk!) deserve wondeful compliments about their constant hard work, dedication, and smiles in class.

MRs. P,
I have a question.

DOOR #1 We are supposed to write down compliments of our classmates and hand them in to you tuesday, and you will go home and make the individual list to hand to us the NEXT tuesday.
^Is this correct?

---OR----

DOOR #2 We email you the list of compliments of our classmates, for you to make the individual lists to hand to us THIS tuesday.
^Is this correct?

Graciepoo,

Door #3 :)LOL

You are to make a list of compliments about each of your classmates. Bring it to class this Tuesday (April 28). I will compile the lists, HOWEVER, you will each receive your personalized list on the last day of school, Tuesday, May 12.

Okay?

Logan-
I may just "forget" to write something about you. I had some good nice things in mind for you, but you might have just forfeited them.>:)

Logan Vaughan said...

Mrs P, isn't Door #3 the same as Door #1? They look the same but worded differently to me.

In both doors, we make a list of compliments about our classmates and hand that list in to you Tuesday, the 28th. You will then go home and compile the compliments made about each individual. The following Tuesday, you will hand us the list of compliments about our own person.

Isn't that what Mrs P and Grace were trying to say? Now I'm confused!

LoVizzle,

The difference in the doors is the dates. It will be two weeks before you get to see what your classmates think of you. The last day is May 12th.

In between those dates, May 5th, you will be taking your exam.....mwhahaha!

You know, Nathan, I think I'll get over it. This might be tough at first, but, I'll move on.

You people who are in my class need to start writing on our blog. I feel all alone being the only one writing.:(

kay lo said...

wow, either Mrs. P is behind on updating the blog, or people just aren't posting anything...it's depressing. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really getting sad about classes almost being over. :(
