Happy New Year!

     I am really excited about getting back into a routine at school, and can't wait to see the kiddos! The weather so far this winter season has been mostly kind to us, so let's keep our fingers crossed that we don't get too many snow days this winter! This week in school we will be getting back to our usual routine. Here is the homework update for the week of January 4:
