Happy 2014!

I hope your family had a wonderful vacation and happy holidays!  Our class was well-rested and enthusiastic about being back at school!  Highlights in the beginning of our week include creating a January calendar, reviewing our classroom and school rules, writing stories about vacation, double-digit subtraction, and indoor recess!  A busy start but it's great to be back to our routines, being with classmates, and learning together!  You may want to check out this week's Scholastic News article we read about Penguin Spy Cams with your child.  (Our access code is team27.)
