Happy Friday!

What a busy week.  On Monday we attended an assembly lead by Mr. Craig (see earlier post).  On Thursday, Mrs. Nichols visited us for a character class.  She reminded us of the importance of volunteering in class and speaking up for ourselves.  She has encouraged us to set a goal of raising our hands at least once a day to answer a question or share a thought.  What a great idea!  We ended the week with our annual MLK Assembly in the Middle School.  We listened to speakers and sang songs together as an entire school.  It was a wonderful way to end our week and to celebrate the great work of a very important man.

A Look Ahead:
*Next week's spelling words are: : pay, play, for, fort, sing, spring, fat, flat, bed, bend, cap, & camp

*We will finish writing our "Me" compositions next week.

*No School on Monday, January 20^th – MLK Day of Service: click here to register: https://www.netdirectories.com/~calvert/oler2.cgi?1130

*The week of January 27th is 7th Age Spirit Week...more details to come!

*The week of February 3^rd is International Week.

Our January folder papers will come home next Friday.  The girls are SO excited to have the Sixth Age teachers will read their folders this month.  The girls and I send our well wishes to Tavi, who broke her elbow yesterday on the playground during recess.  We missed you today Tavi, and we can't wait for you to be back at school so we can give you a lot of BIG hugs!!!
