Full Week of School?

 Welcome back!  I feel like we are getting back from Christmas vacation.  I did enjoy the snow and cold weather, though, and I hope you did too!  Nevertheless, I was glad to reurtn today! So, let's jump right in to things.

• If you have not turned in your snow packets or your young writer's story, you must do that first thing on Tuesday morning.  Do not wait until your class time, bring this work to me ASAP.  
• If you were absent on Monday, get with a friend and make sure you have your spelling and vocab works for the week. 
• The Spelling/Vocabulary Tests will be Friday, February 13 (for all grades)

We are continuing Spirit Days this week!  Friday, February 13 has been turned to "Valentine's Day".  Wear pink, or red and show some LOVE!  Thank you for cooperating.
