Welcome back after our holiday break! I hope everyone had a chance to be with friends and family and enjoy life a bit. Monday, January 7th marks the return to school and we waste no time in our class. The students will start back into our daily routine immediately and get ready for 2nd quarter assessments. Report cards will also be sent home after the 2nd quarter ends on January 11th. Look for them in your child's homework folder the week of January 15th. I am excited to start the second half of the school year and look forward to more learning, exploring, collaborating and sharing in 2008!
