Dear Parents,

I hope that everyone had an absolutely wonderful Easter week.  I am so grateful for the "downtime" and am ready to hit the "ground running" into the end of this year!  Can you believe that I can say that? ...end of the year!  Crazy, time flies when you are having fun!

3rd quarter ends on Friday.  There are many students who still have several outstanding assignments, please help me keep each of them focused going into the last quarter.  It is amazing how quickly grades can drop due to incomplete or missing work.  We struggle to assess students if work is not turned in to us.

We are starting the Virtual Pig Dissection this week.  The program is found online and it will be completed at school.  There should not be any reason students should need to work on this outside of school, unless he/she miss days of school.  Our actual pig dissection starts around April 11th.  If there are appointments, etc... scheduled from April 11th - April 25th, please try and schedule them outside of science class time.  It will make completing this part of the curriculum much more helpful.

Have a great week!
Many blessings,
Kim

Happy spring!!!!

I hope everyone remembered to "jump forward" this weekend!  I was blessed by all the helpers I had show up on Saturday to work in the garden!  We accomplished a lot!  Thank you to everyone who came to help!

Don't forget news articles are due this week on Thursday!

We have a great St. Patrick's Day celebration on Thursday with a Irish Dance presentation!  It is at 9:30 in the gym.

Friday we have families (planned by Derrick and Ethan H.) and then will go as families to walk through the Stations of the Cross in the church.  Feel free to join us if you can!  The afternoon will be spent completing our Jump rope for Heart activity.

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter week off!  Know that you all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of celebration!

Many blessings,
Kim
