Update - January 19

Hello all,

I hope you enjoyed your long weekend!

We will resume Literature Circles tomorrow. Please bring your book and job sheets. We will continue with the Hercules Set and will take the quizzes Friday. 

We are going to the Natural History Museum and the Science Center Wednesday. Please arrive at school on time, wearing your WAVE field trip shirt with a sack lunch that is labeled with your name. Wear comfortable shoes and only bring what you can carry. Please leave all valuables at home. Chaperones, please meet us in the classroom at 8:20 so that we can leave on time. I will give you driving and parking directions then. 

This week is Peace Week: 
Tuesday "Use Your Head To Make Good Choices."  Wear a hat.
Wednesday "Be A Hero. Stand Up To Name Calling." Who's your hero?  Your mom or dad? A firefighter, a police officer, the president?  Someone from history, sports, fiction? (Think simple.  No Halloween costumes.)
