YAY! We made it to Christmas break! I know the blog has been empty this week, but the kids and I have been working on a *Top Secret* project and could not publish their homework. I am happy to say that most of the students have been very good about completing things independently!
Thank you so much for all your support in the first four month of school. We all have goals that we will be working on, almost like New Year's resolutions for the next term! I cannot wait to get started up with all our new units! BUT first, enjoy your time together this Christmas season. I hope you all get to relax together and enjoy this beautiful time. Let us remember that this season is about spending time with loved ones and celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Wishing you all a very Blessed Christmas and a New Year filled with love, joy and good health!
See you in 2012!
Love, Mrs. Maria Fonseca
