December has arrived and we have a busy month planned. Students are working hard to achieve their goals and I am very pleased with their progress. I am also pleased to see that many students are enjoying using IXL and Skills Tutor to reinforce academic skills learned in the classroom. We will continue to use these educational websites during math centers and guided reading groups. Students will be given mid year assessments and I am very anxious to see positive growth in all academic areas. As the holiday season approaches I want to wish you all very happy holidays! Take some time to reflect and count your many blessings! Enjoy the Winter Break!
