The View from Total Drama Island

A couple of bits of business from 5-1:

Jump Rope for Heart is on February 23rd. It will take place during the kids' specials classes, so there's no prep to be done, other than wearing appropriate clothes for jumping rope. Mr. Z will be dealing with the fundraising stuff with the kids.

MATH BOWL is on March 11th. If your child is in my Math class, I ask you to please consider allowing them to do Math Bowl. The only thing that will take place outside of school hours (except for a few of the practices which won't go any later than 3:45) is the competition itself, which is that day. It starts at 5:00, and is always over by 7:00.

We talked today about being nicer to one another. Some of the kids are beginning to pick on each other in bigger ways than just picking. I'm working on putting an end to the snipping and the talking in code and the other little things that are creating some minor civil unrest for the time being.

Hopefully a nice three-day weekend will cure all those winter blues!
