Week of February 17-21, 2014

We are almost done with the 4th Six Weeks and  we are looking forward to the 5th Six Weeks.  Like Spring the end of this school year is beginning to peak its head out.  I know that our students are anxiously awaiting the end of the school year but we still have a lot of work to accomplish.  So students do not take off those thinking caps quite yet because we still have three more novels to read and lots of reading skills and reading elements to learn.
