Many students have already met their goal for the 2nd 9 weeks!!! WAY TO GO!! Please make sure your child reads TO you every night. They can check out books on Wednesday during library. However, if they need a new one before then, they can go before school or at the end the day.

I just wanted to wish everyone a blessed Holiday Season. I hope you and yours plan to celebrate the season and use the time off from school to relax and enjoy your family. Looking forward to a fabulous, art-filled New Year!
Posted below is a vocabulary review – students will be required to learn all 134 terms for a series of class work, quiz and test grades. Students will recieve a hard copy after the Holiday break. But anyone wanting to get a head start can open up the word document and print it off at home or the libary at school. I would suggest making flash cards.
