Welcome back! I hope everybody enjoyed that extended winter break. A huge thanks goes out to all the parents and students for their thoughtful holiday gifts! My family went to the San Jose Sharks to see them play the Tampa Bay Lightning (best team in NHL). They won, which made it even better. My wife and I loved seeing "Vice", as well. Thank you so much for the gift cards to restaurants, movies and tickets! I enjoyed a peaceful break with family and friends. I was able to go to Lake Tahoe with my son and loved our time in the snow, along with playing fun board games. In fact, I bought Code Names for our class, which was especially fun and challenging. In addition, I brought in a variety of board games to help with the long rainy days coming soon in January.
During the break I enjoyed reading a book called the Stand that kept me up late at night. Finally, I golfed with Mr. Kyle and Mr. McMillan a few times, as well.
Enough about me! It's time to get back to learning.
