Snow Days...
My daughters have enjoyed their time off from school, and I'm sure my students have also! However, skills can become a bit rusty during this time away from school. We have made a few trips to the public library, and have been practicing reading a little each day. I decided to send home some "Snow Day" assignments and a story writing project to begin. Stories should be written by the students with parents only helping from the sidelines. They should be on a topic that is well-known to your child, such as a trip, or an exciting or meaningful personal experience. They need not be perfect, as we will edit and revise at school. Just a rough draft is all I expect. These are due on Fri. Jan. 28th. Have a great long weekend!

Welcome back!

It has been a challenge to get back into our routine with all the snow days, but we have accomplished much in just a few days! We will share our January "Family Dream" projects on Monday, Jan. 24th. February's family project is to design a Valentine box for our Valentine exchange during our party on Feb. 14th. I would like to have these turned in by Feb. 11th. The students will need to bring in Valentine cards for 16 students. Any parents interested in helping with snacks or stations, please let me know.
