Goals and Assignments for the Week of January 4-8. **Remember your
student's agenda will have the most accurate assignments.***
Happy New Year Trailblazers! I hope that you had a wonderful two-week
holiday vacation with your families. I sure did! Thank you everyone for the
sweet treats, gift cards and holiday cards. Your gifts were generous and
thoughtful. Thank you so much! I wish you all a happy, healthy and
successful 2010!
Just before the holiday break we finished our study of West Africa. Those
students that were absent for the unit test must make this up asap. The West
Africa map quiz and tests will be returned as soon as all students have
completed these assessments. (I will be happy to share your grades - just
ask!)
