Thank you everyone for a great school year!  I hope you and your families have a terrific summer break, and I look forward to seeing everyone in September.

It was a privilege to be able to teach each and every one of you this year.  I'm very thankful that I had that opportunity.  Each and every one of you are tremendous young people, and I look forward to seeing you continue to develop as students in our school.

Have a great summer!

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

It was great having so much fun with you all today.  It's crazy to see the walls in the classroom with nothing on them.  I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.  Please remember that tomorrow is a full day schedule.  If you are leaving early, please make sure the office knows.  Thanks so much!  

Have a great evening.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

You all did a really great job with your debates today.  I enjoyed seeing everyone use their volume, pitch, pace and tone of voice to persuade the audience.  We did not get around to continuing with short division due to our debates and our discussion on what it means to do your best.  We may have some time tomorrow to do a little extra short division practice.  I would like to encourage you to show your parents what you have learned about short division.  I would also encourage you to share with them what we discussed today in class regarding doing your best.  Remember, knowledge grows little by little as you try your best to learn from every lesson your teachers teach at school.  I'm proud of you all.  You are a great group of students.

Mr. Carr

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

There is no homework tonight.  Today we worked on learning short division, and tomorrow we will continue.  We will also be working on our debate articles tomorrow.  We will also begin taking home personal belongings.  If you have a lot of personal belongings, it is important that you take a little home each night.

Have a great evening!

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Tomorrow is Hansen Palooza!  It starts right after school, so please make sure that you remember to make arrangements with your parents for when you are going to attend, if you are in fact attending.  If you are choosing to present your math game then you should probably not go home right after school to make sure that you are ready to begin at 4pm.  We will present until 5pm, but if you want to end early that is fine.  I want you to enjoy the Hansen Palooza activities!
