January 5, 2015

Good Morning,
  I hope you all had a wonderful break and enjoyed the time with loved ones.  I always appreciate the opportunity to sound time with my wife and kids.  It is amazing who fast the time goes and find that each break proves to be more and more special.

 This week marks the start of our Winter Sports Program.  Our schedule will change on the days that we participate int eh program.  The students will eat lunch from 11:10-11:35.  They will then come back to the room and get ready for the mountain.  We will not have reading groups on these days.  Your child will have books to read (of their choosing or books that they have already read for fluency purposes).  However, if your child is exhausted from the day, please feel free to take the night off.

  In order to help your child be organized and to prevent them from loosing items, I ask that you label each piece of clothing/equipment.  It works best if your child has a separate bag for all of their clothing and equipment.  When students arrive at school, on Wednesday, they should leave their winter gear bag in the hallway and bring their backpacks into the classroom.  I will help them with this on Wednesday.

  I hope you all have a wonderful 2015 and a fabulous week.

Peace,
Tommy
