January 4-8, 2010
Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful two week break and enjoyed
all the joys of the Christmas season. I think everyone is probably ready to
get back to a regular routine after so much excitement. Luckily, we have a
pretty normal schedule for the next two weeks prior to the end of the second
quarter.
Because we were able to get through so much material before Christmas
break, we are starting fresh in almost every subject. In reading, we did
finish "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," but we still have a few activities
to complete this week, as well as taking the AR test on the book.
In Math, we will begin a chapter on geometry, but we will really be
working on memorizing the multiplication facts. Please encourage your child
to work on those daily.
Many thanks to all of you for the gifts and kind words you shared with
me. They are all very much appreciated! This time of year always reminds me
how lucky I am to work in such a caring community. May all of you enjoy a
happy, healthy, and blessed New Year!
