Weekly Quote:
"A good vacation is over when you begin to yearn for your work." ~Morris Fishbein

Welcome back to our cool school where kind hearts and open minds rule! Wow, vacations are soothing for the soul, aren't they?!
This vacation gave me a taste of summer because THIS coming summer I will not be working for the first time since I was 12. Our family enjoyed sleeping in, playing hockey, reading. My wife and I went to see Clash of the Titans and an intense Sharks game. The time off was perfect and I feel rejuvenated and excited to get back to teaching and learning in Room 12.
* Our class is in the midst of our Science Project. This week we will be finishing our Hypotheses and planning our next steps.
* In reading 4th graders will continue The Incredible Journey while our 5th graders continue Thief Lord.
* In speech we will go back to doing News Teams for the next month.
* I will be sending home CDs for our Musical Play entitled 13 Colonies. Please have your child read the script and sing along with each song to learn the words. We will begin trying out for parts next week.
* It should be a great week of learning!
See you at school!
