Daily Update--December 22/13

For the Christmas holidays, the only homework the students have would be to read. I hope they have an interesting book to read which they then will be able to use for the second IRP ( not due until the beginning of February).

The students do have a French worksheet due January 6th.

From my family to yours, we hope you have a wonderful, safe, joyous holiday season.

Merry Christmas!
