Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday

People across the country will be celebrating MLK Day and so can your child as there is No School on Monday for them.  We teachers have workshop/inservice that day.  Enjoy the 3 day weekend.
Speaking of MLK, we great a great book about him today with lots of amazing facts (some of them sad) about him and all he did for ALL people in the world and not just the African Americans.  Ask your child about at least 2 great things he did and if they can tell you and have a good discussion, write MLK in the planner.
Free money-we all started over today with new money ($150) so let's see if the good choices can continue and keep earning that fun, hard-earned, well-deserved $ this next quarter.
In math today, we played a fun division game with the Royal Family.  Ask your child what their roles were and have them explain the game to you.  I think it is going to help EVERYONE be successful with dividing with remainders!!!!!
Today is the last day of this quarter and the first semester.  So all work had to be in by 3:00 today for credit.
Report Cards will be coming home on Thursday, January 22nd.
Fit Kids Club-Just a reminder that you have until January 23rd to get your forms in. Students will be drawn on the lottery system.   Participation days are on Mondays & Tuesdays from 3:15-4:00 starting February 2nd.  So check your schedule and plan to sign up for a chance is you don't have anything else on those days and at that time.  It is fun and a great way to get some exercise as well as participate with 5th & 6th graders.
Have a great 3 day weekend and cya on Tuesday.
