It's been awhile since my last update. It seems as if everyone had a great Christmas break. If the students got half of what they've claimed, they were truly blessed! In the meanwhile, we are back to work and trying go get into our routines again at school. The mysterious snow day Friday will throw us off a little, but we are moving along in the right direction preparing for TCAP. Expect report cards tomorrow.
Today we are out of school to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend visiting the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. I took a group of students there several years back, and I have to say that it might be the most memorable day of my teaching career. It is a deeply powerful and moving place. The museum is located in the Lorraine Motel where Dr. King was assassinated. The lessons and stories shared there are well worth the price of admission.
On a much less serious note, this Friday is our field trip to the symphony. Please send in your permission slips, lunch option, and money as soon as possible. Have a great day off, and I'll see everyone bright and early tomorrow!
