Hi there parents. Sorry it has been a little over a week since I last up-dated my blog, but I have had a hard time getting into my blog, lately. Hopefully, you are not having the same problem.

There is one correction I want to let you know about from the last blog, and that is the date of the Science Fair. We have changed the date to March 25th, instead of April 1st, due to South's Spelling Bee being on April 1st. I hope this doesn't inconvenience any of you, because this is truly the only day we can have it.

We are on our way into 3rd quarter. Please note that the next progress report you will be receiving from your child, will be on Feb.2nd. This is a couple of weeks away yet, so please check with you child daily to see that they are staying caught up. I try to become a little more strict with the students, as far as them getting their assignments in on time, during third and fourth quarter. If they haven't handed in missing work within the two week period, from print-out to print-out, then their missing assignments will either become a no make-up, or they will only get half credit on their missing assignments. I am trying to prepare them for next year.

I have most of the permission slips back for the Alvin Ailey dance performance, scheduled for next Friday, Feb., 28th, but there are a few students that haven't gotten them back to me yet. If your child doesn't come with that permission slip signed they will have to stay back with another teacher and do work.

Please note that Reading Revolutions for this quarter are due on Feb. 15th and March 16th.

Thanks so much for all of your help, it is greatly appreciated.
