We hope everyone is having a restful weekend! Can you believe that we have a full 5 day school week coming up? Don't worry, we'll be able to handle it! :)

Take a moment to review this week's newsletter. Don't forget that this is the last week to purchase a yearbook! Also, put our field trip to Bragg on your calendar for Feb. 3. Be sure to return your signed permission slip if you haven't already. Finally, be on the lookout for report cards to be mailed home this week. Let's get off to a great start this 3rd nine weeks!

We hope you have enjoyed your day off! Click here to see an interactive time line of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and accomplishments. Also, take a moment to look at our cell projects video on our Project Gallery Wiki. 

Note that we do not have a new newsletter this week since last week we were only here one day due to the snow! There may be a few changes, but these will be written on the assignment board. Students should note any changes in their agendas. 

Let's have a great week!

Well, it turns out we will be out of school again tomorrow! One fun thing to be thinking about while we're out of school is topics to blog about. Many of you have written student blog posts, but several of you haven't yet. We're going to pick back up with student blogging once we get back to school, so here are some possible topics for you to be thinking about.

1. What did you do while school was out? Did you stay inside and watch TV or did you get out of the house and do something fun, like sledding?

2. Have you seen any good movies or read any good books lately? Be a movie/book critic and tell us why or why not we should watch the movie or read the book.

3. How are you coming with your New Year's resolutions? Are you keeping them? Has something happened to keep you from reaching your goals?

4. One major theme in Bridge to Terabithia is friendship. Do you have a friend that means a lot to you? Why do you think that it is important to have good friends? How are you a good friend to others?

5. What is something you're interested in that you'd like to learn more about this year?

These are just a few ideas to think about. Leave a comment if you have any other suggestions of things to write about. Also leave a comment and tell us what you'd like to blog about!

 If you're still unsure about blogging, go to the Student Blog page and click on the link to watch the Brain Pop video about blogging. You can also listen to our new Voki, Fiona the cat, talk about how to leave a comment. 

Finally, you might notice a few changes to our website. We have moved our pictures and video to our Project Gallery Wiki. Also, Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. Dunnavant added more information to the About/Contact page. Finally, there is now a page for parents that has helpful links. Would you like to see anything added to our website? If so, you can leave a comment about that too! 

As you probably already know, school has been canceled tomorrow due to the winter weather. Looking for something to do to entertain yourselves? Check out this article. Leave a comment to tell us how you plan on enjoying your snow day! Be careful if you have to leave your house. Hopefully we will see you Tuesday!

Hi everyone! Take a minute to review next week's newsletter. Also, be sure to stay tuned to the weather. We may see snow on Sunday! Have a safe, relaxing weekend!

We had a great first day back at school after the holidays! Below you will find this week's newsletter. Also, you may notice a new link on the left to DonorsChoose.org. We have a class project listed if you'd like to check it out! Let's work together to make 2011 the best year yet!
