Back to School

With the added two days due to the weather at the beginning of break it sure made it seem like a long break.  For me it was very relaxing and filled with time spent with family and friends. This two day week will be a nice way to easy back into school and for us to make up some of the things that we didn't get to do before the break.

Tomorrow we will be reviewing for a Math test that we will also be taking tomorrow.  We spent time reviewing today and the kids showed that they are mostly ready for the test.  If I didn't think they were ready I would push it back.  Tomorrow we will also be watching a movie that the kids earned before break.  The movie was supposed to be watched the Friday afternoon before we left.  Since we were not here we will be watching it tomorrow.  The kids earned it so they deserve to get to watch it. 

Let's take advantage of the new year to start recording reading minutes every night and to sign assignment sheets each and every night. Studies show that student who are held accountable for reading and recording their reading time at home will improve more than students who are not required to record their minutes.  I hope everyone had a great, enjoyable break and is ready to begin the new year.
