Today, I crashed on my bike. I’m not sure how, but both my hands are thrashed and I have some big road rash on my knee. It hurts.
Also, I see that only Eden is writing in her blog. The rest of you better get with it.

Here are the highlights of my note to students and parents about vacation homework.
During vacation, one assignment they have is to read every day for 60 minutes. This will improve their reading skills, as well as give them a head start on their next Accelerated Reader goal. On the first day, I tested them to find what level they read at. They were told which books to choose from, and how many points they needed to get before vacation
Please have students read every day. Students should have brought books home, or may need to go to the Southgate library to get more books.
A second assignment is to practice math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication & division). I have links on my blog to Internet sites students can use. Flashcards are a great way to practice. My blog address is: http://ferreiraeblog.blogspot.com
Also, I would like students to write in their blog during the break. Students can write about anything, make up stories, express views , movie reviews, daily journals, etc. Students log in at: http://www.blogger.com

I have seen the CST scores. In general, they are low and many people’s 5th grade scores are lower than their 4th grade scores. So we will have to work HARD and improve.
