What an awesome Tuesday! I was so happy to see the kids’ smiling faces,and I look forward to a fantastic rest of the week! This morning we had the chance to write about one small moment from our break. We also had math, social studies, Spanish, Engage and current event time in the afternoon.

Tonight’s homework is JP 249-251 (On JP 251 you can skip #4) SL 9.1 (first side only). Due on Thursday are two online tests and the codes are VWKR7960 and TDXJ2570. Due on Monday is the second side of SL 9.1 The kids have a survey to complete and they need to ask 5 people each question. They are not allowed to ask any teachers at BCS! If you did not get your Unit 8 test letter signed, please do so for tomorrow. If you have time, it is always a great idea to practice IXL.
