Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday season. It is great to see the kids again! 🙂 They even got a postcard from Klaus! (It is a very heart-warming movie!)
The final countdown is on – including today, we have just ten days left together! Time really flies! We jumped right back into the swing of things and learned another round of spelling words. Amidst the spelling, we are reviewing the words we have learned before and seeing how our progress has been over the past few months.
I will be sending out an email regarding final conferences coming up in two weeks. They will be TELEPHONE conferences, as it is the end of the term before the kids head back to their home schools. If you prefer an in-person conference, please still sign up on SignUp Genius, but send me an email to let me know. Phone Conferences will be on Wednesday January 22nd and Thursday January 23rd from 3:40 – 5:15pm. Each conference is about 15-20 minutes. You can click on the link below to go to the website.
To top off a nice first week back, we got snow!! They were so excited and definitely got to play outside (with some safety rules in place – no throwing snow!). It was great snow too, easy to pack and make little mounds and snowpeople! Some of us chose to go play outside in the flurries of snow during recess; I went out to play with them too, I couldn’t resist! 😀
Upcoming Dates:
Monday January 20th: Pro-Day Day, no school
Wednesday & Thursday January 22nd & 23rd: Telephone Conferences
Friday January 24th: Last Day of TEIR!
Have a great weekend and stay warm! There is supposed to be more snow in the coming days and week…!
Take care and take it easy!
Claire 🙂
