Phantastic!

Wow!!!!!  I am so jealous that you had a visit from the Phanatic!!!  That must have been so much fun!  Nativity participated this year too, and we are hoping for a visit in April.  I'm looking forward to baseball season - looks like the best Phillies team ever!  I will be at the May 6 Teacher Appreciation Night game - if any of you are going, let me know.  I hope you're all doing well.  Say hi to the teachers for me!

Happy 2011!

Hi Former Room 4A Friends!
Happy New Year!  This year you will make your Confirmation and move up to 6th grade - big things ahead for you!  Thank you for all the nice comments.  I think of all of you all the time, and if we ever have a day when Nativity is off and St. E. is open, I'll come visit.  Gianna, I thought of you last night when the first episode of Idol came on - are you in an Idol pool again, and who do you have?  Brendan, I KNOW!  It is super cool that we got Cliff Lee!  What do you think the Phils should do about Blanton?  Amy - any Disney trips planned?  Jolie and Maddy - I loved the Christmas cards!  I'd love to hear from all my former students - we sure did have a great class!
My kids have extra homework because St. Ephrem passed Nativity in First in Math - good for you if you are one of the students moving St. Ephrem up in the rankings!
Tell your families and teachers I said hello and Happy New Year - you all are awesome!
Love,
Mrs. Morris

One Trimester Down and Ten More Days till Christmas!

Congratulations to all of you who earned honors, and thank you for keeping me posted!  I am very proud of you!  I know you all have much to be proud of - I can see that St. Ephrem is doing very well in First in Math.  Keep up the good work!  I miss all of you and think of you often.  I'm sure you're busy getting ready for the Christmas show.  What song are you singing?  We are having a Christmas play on Tuesday night, and I will be playing the piano for it.  Have lots of fun in these last few days before Christmas, but don't drive your parents and teachers crazy!
Love,
Mrs. Morris  p.s. I asked Santa for a Phillies shirt that says Lee on the back!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween everyone!  I hope you have lots of fun and get lots of treats!  Enjoy the long weekend!

First in Math

Hi Everyone!
Are you playing First in Math?  Right now, St. Ephrem is beating Nativity, but we just started today, so watch out!
I hope you're all having fun!

Fifth Grade

I hope everyone had a wonderful first day of fifth grade! 

Summer's End and School's Beginning

Well this sure was a fast summer!  My classroom is all ready, and I've been thinking about all of you as you prepare for 5th grade.  I know it will be a great year for you - there are so many wonderful things to learn!  Today I found a new kind of pen/pencil by Sharpie that can be erased like a pencil, but it writes like a pen and becomes permanent after a few minutes.  What cool new supplies have you gotten for school?
