Handwriting Booklets: For those students who are working on their Fantastic Falcon Award, the handwriting booklets are due January 7, 2011. Students do not HAVE to do the booklet; there are other options to choose from. However, this is one of the easier options, and a good time to finish them is during the Christmas vacation. Students will only have from January 3-7, to finish them after the break. The books have instructions that need to be followed in order to pass. Also, the students' handwriting should improve towards the end of the booklet. In the past, we have had students try to do a "rush job" in order to get the booklet finished on time. The MOST important reason for doing the booklet is to improve handwriting. The SECOND MOST important reason is to do it for the Falcon Award. Once January 7, has passed, the booklets will not be accepted for the Falcon Award. All booklets will need to be passed off with Mrs. Packard.

Soc. Studies: No assignment. Congratulations to all of those students who studied and did their best on the Asian countries test. There were about 50 students who earned an 'A' but there were many more students who studied and earned a higher score than on the quizzes. There were also 27 students who did some extra studying and earned their "Ancient Chinese Philosopher" sticker which will count towards earning a Falcon Award. Way to Go!

All Asia/China packets should be turned in no later than tomorrow. No exceptions!
