Today is our first day back from Christmas Break. I know I am ready to get back to a more normal routine, and I have a feeling that as parents, you may feel the same way.
This next week we will be back to business as usual with much fewer interruptions. The third-graders will have a math test on Tuesday. Then, on Friday, there will be a math test for the fourth-graders, an English test for everyone, as well as the usual spelling test. During the next few weeks, we will complete some practice copies for the upcoming handwriting contest. Then, later in the month, we will do the official competition entry.
The next Scholastic book order is coming home today. If you wish to place an order you can do so by going online and using the class code or by returning the order to school with exact payment either in the form of cash or check made out to “Susan Van Houten.” Orders are due back Friday, January 10.
Here are some important dates for your calendar.
