Respect and Admiration

It was great to meet everyone at Meet the Teacher Night last night. The kids really enjoyed reading what you wrote to them this morning. I look forward to meeting with everyone again at parent/teacher conferences in a couple months.

Anyway, here's an update on what's due and when. I gave the kids a book report last week which is due on September 12. The test over their new states and capitals list is officially next Wednesday, but I told them they could take it on Friday. It's only over four (FOUR!) states, and one of them is Oklahoma (Oklahoma City, FYI). Spelling test on Friday, and tomorrow there is a Caesar's English test. In case you're reading this right now and your child didn't bring home his or her list, here's all you need to know:

melancholy: sadness
visage: the face
venerate: to respect or admire
abate: to lessen
repose: to rest
