The groundhog said six more weeks of winter, but the weather has been warm like a false spring. I hope you are all enjoying the time you can spend outside with your family.

Accelerated Reading
This six weeks is back on track. We will have a goal of 12 points again. We will set our goals weekly as before, with a 2 point target for each week (will be a grade weekly in the grade book). This strategy worked well last six weeks and I'm sure they will all do even better this six weeks. This week's target is 12 pts.
Social Studies
Liberty's Kids has been a great way to learn about our early American history. We will be studying the Declaration of Independence and winning the War.
