Progress Reports

Haye's will be sending home progress reports this year...what a great practice for everyone envolved.  The benefit is that you will be well aware of your child's progress and know what is coming when report card time rolls around.  The school will be sending the reports out on Wednesday!  I on the other hand am using this week to finish up assessments due to my maternity leave and will be sending progress reports home Monday September 24th.  Make sure you are looking for them in your child's Monday folder.

The word of the week for September 10th is: Honesty

Honesty is telling the truth and using good judgement. 

I show honesty when I told my mother that I broke her vase instead of blaming it on the dog.

Can yo use the word honesty in a sentence and post it in my comments??  You can get a homework pass!
