Happy New Year and Enjoy the Week Off

Parents,

First, I want to thank the parents who donated to today's Lunar New Year Celebration. I think the students really enjoyed it! And the lion performance was an entertaining one!

Second, there is no homework for the break. I will assign TenMarks for review but it is optional (read: it will not count toward their grade).

Finally, when we start up again on February 26, we will be:

• Finishing Island of the Blue Dolphins
• Starting Wordly Wise 19, new Time for Kids issue, Topic 13 in Math, and Chapter 8 in Science
• Continuing Unit 4 in History

See you in a week!

Happy New Year!
