Summer Blogging
Written on June 10, 2006 – 11:03 am | by heffernan
Well, School’s Out. I’m leaving for awhile, but I hope I can check email on my trip and approve blog comments. It would be great to hear what you’re all doing and of course read about all the fascinating texts you’re reading and writing. Cross your fingers for me. I’m going to be a dissertation drone for the next couple of months. Happy Summer, Sixers…I mean, Sevvies!

p.s. all my friends from MI are coming down to visit me for 2 weeks, in summer. Because i used to live in MI and we still keep up our friendship. Their school gets out on June 16, but they start school the day after labor day. They made it a law in MI that no school can start before labor day! Can you believe!!!!!
Hope you guys have fun Becca. I’m going to MN for a couple of days. Dont you think the appreviation for Michigan is kind of wierd? It just seems… not complete?

Hey Sevvies, Today we went to a French playground. And had a lovely lunch at a cafe. Then we walked through a very old cemetery. Then we walked and walked thinking that we were going to hear a Blues band at 4pm, but when we got there they were setting up and it seemed like it would be awhile before they started, so we decided to do something very important…check email. There’s a city wide music festival tonight, so we’ll walk about listening to the concerts.
Love 2 u all! Ms. H.

These are the phonetics for the words that I’m going to post below in English, and then in French, then I’ll put the pronunciation key, in this order. The phonetics up above is used in the pronunciation key, so learn the phonetics and then try pronouncing the pronunciation key. Then if you can pronounce the word then you have a word in French.

Greetings, Mitch!
Thanks for this kind email. You’ve really made my day. I was so lucky to be your teacher twice!
Right now we’re working on descriptions of ourselves as writers. It’s a tough assignment, but the new kids on the block are jumping right in. Any writing assignments in the middle school yet???
P.S. I want to share your social story about war with my classes this year. Is that okay with you???
