Happy first day of Christmas break!
I hope that everyone's break is off to a wonderful start. I just wanted to thank everyone for the lovely gifts, they were very thoughtful! I think I have enough chocolate to last me at least a couple of days and Christmas decorations that I will cherish for years to come. The various dishes and candles will be put to good use this Christmas season.
Enjoy this wonderful time of year with your family, get some exercise both physically and spiritually, stay safe. See you all in 2011!

Homework
Due to the busy Christmas schedule this week we have had to make a few changes to our assessment times. We will be having our Ch.5 test on Thursday afternoon. Those that were helping out with set up for the primary Christmas concert will write their Ch. 6 Science quiz tomorrow afternoon as well.
We are also working to get out our first issue of the classroom newsletter. In between Christmas preparations and studying, if students could prepare a piece to submit for the first issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Have a good night!
