Lots of pictures and stuff to show this week, so we'll begin with the homework board.
A few things up and coming:

* Mask making will be Wednesday this week.
* The official end of the term will be Wednesday this week.
* Reports cards should go home January 30.
* Term 3 gradebook will hopefully be up and running by Friday, so start keeping an eye on it.

And really, that's about it, as far as I can think, so onto the more fun things. This week in Math, we did a graphing group project that included haveing to everything from figure out a function, to graphing it, to writing a story problem around it. I randomly chose one from the pile of 9 as an example: There were also lots of great book reports presented this week. Below is a picture of a few of the three dimensional displays that were brought in.

Finally, we all know we had Monday off this week for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. He is one of the greatest facilitators for civil rights in history. I believe it is important for the students to realize why this is a holiday, so, I will leave you with a video. This is the second annual performance of Mr. Pratt giving King's I Have a Dream speech:

"I have a dream that one day my four children will live in a world where they are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." ~Martin Luther King Jr.
