I hope everyone is enjoying the vacation and that you will be rested up for the New Year. I loved watching Christmas Around the World and both Mrs. Dickson and I are very proud of your hard work. Your show is wonderful!  I will be posting homework on the this webpage every Sunday, for the following week. For the month of January you will also get your calendar. The homework has changed slightly. You will still have reading and math and spelling each week, however, creative writing will be assigned every second week and on the off weeks we will begin cursive writing practice. See you on Tuesday! And remember 'la fete de roi', we'll be having cake in the morning. Hope you get the lucky bean in your piece of cake.

We are preparing for the Rotary Music Festival and need to have costumes lined up for next week.   The Kindergarten classes need to be dressed as cowboys and cowgirls. T'shirts and jeans are fine, but if the children have a cowboy hat,please send it along to school tomorrow, so we can practice. Primary choir is asked to dress in bright colors as we are doing an African song. Girls Choir had been asked to get poodle skirts and t'shirts. It is not necessary to rent them. If the girls don't have them, we will dress in shorts and a t'shirt. All students are asked to dress as a pirate for Wednesday's performance.
