The kids had some fun doing Jazzercise today during PE.  I watched them for a little while.  They were really getting worn out!

This is going be a busy week, especially after we lost yesterday to the ice.  We have several tests coming up, but I'll be waiting on the dates until I see if our snow tonight turns into a late start tomorrow.  Science body system test will probably be Friday.  New spelling and vocabulary words will be coming out today and tomorrow, but we won't test over them this week.  Figurative language test will be either Friday or next week, we'll see. We'll also have a quiz over our story this week...James Forten.

Homework:  DRTA James Forten story packet
Final draft of dialogue story is due Thursday!
