Good Evening!

We had an AWESOME day today at our Packer Party! Thank you to our room mom, Mrs. K, for a fantastic party. Congratulations to CS for winning the 2013 Paper Football Challenge!

Just a reminder: Mrs. Uher will be with the students on Monday and Tuesday next week. My little sister will be having her baby boy delivered on Monday. I'll be there to help out the new family of four for a few days.  If an issue arises, please contact me via text or email, but understand I may not be able to reply right away. Thank you for your understanding!

Homework:

(FYI - in case you are wondering why I am giving a test on the last day before break: I wanted to give the students at least two days with the study guide and did not want it lingering over the long break. I know the timing isn't exactly ideal but I appreciate your understanding and willingness to study with you student this evening.)
