Families~
Happy New Year!!! I truly hope you have been enjoying some valuable family time this break. I just wanted to make sure I updated at least once over during this break, and yesterday I decided my break was over and I'm ready to get back into school mode:)
On a side note, I want to take a second to say THANK YOU to each and every family who thought about mine during the holidays. Every gift was greatly appreciated, and words cannot express how blessed I am to work in such an amazing community with such caring families. Thank you very much!
Before break, I sent home an extra credit sheet for the students to consider. I highly recommend at least looking at it at this point (if you haven't viewed it yet). This extra credit will be applied to their 2nd quarter report card which will be finalized our next week at school. Many of the ideas are quite simple with some being more complex. Points will be awarded accordingly. (I'll put a few useful links below).
I'm very excited to see all the students again next week (and yes, I'm being serious). A break is always nice, and I love spending time with my family, but I have been missing my "other family" a lot. Enjoy the last few days!
