January 4th- Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, and Welcome Back!

Thank you somuch for the wonderful Christmas gifts.  I sent home a thank you note with each child, so I am hoping it made its way to you.  I appreciate you all thinking of me.

If you haven't already seen the social studies study guide, please begin looking over this with your child.   Your child is supposed to have it signed.  We will be finishing up this unit next week and the test is planned for Monday, January 14th.
