I hope everyone had an enjoyable break.  I know my own children have mixed feelings about returning, but one thing is for certain, I am excited to see those smiles I have missed these past few weeks.

Remember, homework folders are to be returned Monday morning with completed reading logs.  We also have P.E. on Monday mornings and students will need athletic shoes for inside the gym.  We do not have anyone signed up for snack the next couple of weeks.  If you have not signed up to provide snack, please consider choosing a week to help, we have several open weeks between now and the end of the year.  Another reminder that January home projects and IXL lessons are posted on the blog.  In February, we will be studying the 50 states for our home projects.  I will start this process by allowing students to choose a state, on a first come basis.  Please be thinking with your child, which state they may wish to present.  I will complete sign ups between now and January 16th, after that point, I will have students draw from a hat which state to complete a project on.  I will send home their assigned state, in their take home folders, the following Monday.  As always, please contact me with questions or concerns.
