This has been a tough stretch of weather. Hope everyone is safe and warm. Because of having no school, we will not be having the scheduled Social Studies test. I'm sure it's hard for the students to remember where we left off. I know it is for me!

We do have upcoming ITBS tests. These tests are very important I encourage all students to get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast. The cooks will provide mid-morning snacks. These will not be a substitute for breakfast. If school starts on time, I anticipate starting these tests tomorrow (Wednesday).

Enjoy another day off. At least the sun is shining and the winds are calm! Tell my little people that I look forward to seeing them tomorrow!!!

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2010! This year is really flying by.

Everyone returned back to school healthy and happy. We've started off this year journaling about Christmas break. It sounds like everyone had a great time. We are foocusing on predicting outcomes, visualizing, and topic and main idea in Reading. We constantly summarize. In Math it's greater addition and subtraction. We're doing lots of regrouping. We are jusst finishing up a PowerPoint book on community services and helpers. They really enjoyed creating their own pages. We hope to be writing in cursive soon. Another busy productive year!

Thanks for doing such a great job signing the assignment books. I believe it is a great way to communicate.
