I can’t believe it is our last week before the break already! We will have our class party on Friday in the afternoon. If you would like to sign up to donate something please visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F44ADAD2EAAF94-holiday. We will have two STEAM projects in the afternoon as part of our celebration. If any families/students would like to share what holiday their families celebrate or their traditions, have your student let me know. Other than the party time slot, we will be having a regular week full of all of our normal work. When we get back from break the students will be taking their winter official NWEA so it is important that they stay on track and working even over break.
