Life was very busy in the last week of school in 2012! We welcomed two guest readers, enjoyed a variety of Grinch Day activities, sang at the school holiday sing-along, and wrapped up the year with a classroom party. I am particularly grateful to ZP's mom, CB's mom, and NT's mom for organizing the party. Many thanks to all the parents who contributed to the party. The children seemed to have a wonderful time. I certainly enjoyed watching their joy!
I hope that you have been enjoying a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday season with family and friends. Most of my extended family gathered this past week, and now that we have returned home I am eager to see the children and learn about their holiday adventures.
I have just a few notes for you as we prepare to return to school on Wednesday, January 2.
In January, we will begin the Math Masters program (also known as "Rocket Math") to practice quick recall of basic addition and subtraction facts. More information on this program will go home next week.
Homework will resume the week of January 7. Homework packets will now include a writing component and word study activities will be reduced. Please see the homework cover page for details. Math homework will consist of practicing math facts in conjunction with Math Masters.
Finally, I am deeply grateful for your kind thoughts and generous gifts. Words do not adequately express my appreciation, so I must resign myself to a simple, "Thank you very much!"
