Week 14
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” – Maya Angelou
Welcome back from Thanksgiving break. I hope everyone had a wonderful time with family and friends, and maybe even got in some shopping.
Thank you to everyone who helped out during the The Thanksgiving Feast. It was a huge success.
Mr. DeVries will be sending home a notice regarding our upcoming school play. Please make sure that you receive a copy this week. Additionally, students should be working on memorizing lines.

We are continuing with multiplication in Chapter 4. Our Chapter test will be on Wednesday. In class we are also working with sprints and Xtramath.com.
