Mrs. Murphy's Classroom

WELCOME TO MY CLASSROOM!

  

Welcome to my new Web page!  It will be a vehicle of information about assignments, activities, projects, reminders, and news for parents of students in my classes.  As the year progresses, I hope the page expands to provide more information to all; however, my first goal is to provide weekly assignments and deadlines for students and parents.
 
One disclaimer, assignments are always subject to change due to unplanned interruptions in the schedule, the need to move at a faster or slower pace based on students' needs, and a spur-of-the-moment  opportunity to take advantage of an interesting activity to enhance student learning.
 
Please let me know how I am doing, how useful this site is, and how I can improve it to meet your needs.
 
 Have a great year.  Mrs. Murphy                  Smiley Faces - Free Smiley Faces to Hotlink to and Enjoy
 
 Please Note:  I have added two new pages to this site.  One is Rubrics and Activity Directions and the other is Homework Archives.  You will have to scroll down the page to find the item you need.   I hope these new pages prove to be helpful to parents and students.
