Hey all...

Thanks for bearing with me the last few days. I, unfortunately, came down with a stomach bug late Sunday night that I just couldn't shake. And unlike a cold or fever, this I could not work through. I think you all know how much I hate being out of the classroom, and I can say this has been the first time in my seven-plus years at Elmer Avenue that I have been out of the classroom two days in a row-due to illness.

I intend on being in class tomorrow-so I will see you all then. I know you've all been at your best behavior. See you tomorrow.

Mr. Sheridan

The Voice

Many of you have noticed that I have a poem on the classroom door.  The poem, called "The Voice", is written by one of the most entertaining writers of the last few generations, Shel Silverstein.  Although much of Silverstein's writing is funny, this one is poignant.  As the 6th graders leave Elmer in June, you will be going on to bigger and better things - with bigger and bigger consequences.  Study hard, try hard...and you will go places. Make bad decisions, and find yourself in trouble.

But who will tell you what is right, and what is wrong?  YOU WILL.   That's why I like this poem - let me know what it means to you.
