Hi Friends,

I hope you're all enjoying this lovely 4 day weekend! This week the homework will be a bit lighter, in order to give all a chance to put finishing touches on Mission Reports and Projects, which are due on Friday. Children will also need to bring projects home on Friday (after sharing them with their classmates.)

The kids are enjoying the shift in math to geometry. We'll move through it pretty swiftly,  and then settle in with a long unit on fractions. By the Great Horn Spoon has been a fun read in RTI. For those kids wishing to listen to the audio of the book, Mr. McMillan has provided a link on his blog. This is a terrific way for students to revisit favorite parts, or to catch up when sick.

Finally, thanks so much to Brandi, Julie, and Sandi, for the great Valentine's Day party. The kids really enjoyed the day! Thanks, as well, for all my yummy Valentines.

Have a great week,
Carroll Mayer
