HAPPY NEW YEAR, and WELCOME BACK!!

It was so good to see all my lovely girls this week!  I missed them so much over the break!  I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  We welcomed two new members to the Sunset Sweethearts this week!  Welcome Kaylah and Shay-Shay!  We are so happy you are a part of our family!  We love our big class!

This was a short week for us.  We got a lot accomplished though.  We started working on adding and subtracting mixed numbers, with regrouping, in math.  Next week we are going to continue that, and start working on multiplying fractions.We started our new novel, Esperanza Rising.  It is really good!  In spelling, we studied sort 17.  We will study sort 18 next week.  We started our new science unit on electricity and magnets.  I assigned an integrated project today that is due next Friday, when we take our assessment.  Please ask your daughters to see the project page.  You have to sign it before she turns it in on Friday. 

There is still no final work on Jekyll Island.  I will let you know as soon as we know.  It does not look good though.  :(

Our second nine weeks brag day is next Wednesday morning at 9am. If you daughter is receiving an award, I sent home an invitation with the report cards.  I hope you can attend!  I'm so proud of how hard everyone worked this past quarter. 

We had one birthday over the break!  Happy birthday Yemi!!!  Sharna' celebrated her birthday today, and Zakiyah celebrates hers Sunday.  Have great days girls!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

For some reason the picture uploaded isn't working.  Keep an eye out for two new pictures.  :)
