Happy New Year!!

Wow! Already 2012!! I wish everyone a blessed and peaceful new year. Thank you so much for the countless gifts of candy, cookies, candles, coffee mug, ornaments, and gift certificates. I also appreciate the generous monetary gift!! Villa parents are the most gracious and generous parents in the world. THANK YOU!
Author Study research – please find time during the next two weeks to remind your child to keep up with his/her author research packet. The more information your child gathers on his/her author, the better presentation! I am encouraging the children to get to know their author like they know their best friend. Research packets are due Monday, January 23rd.
Here are additional resources for Spelling, Vocabulary and Grammar!
