I am not planning on assigning any homework for the next couple of weeks. I will definitely keep you informed on when I start assigning homework.
This week, I talked with our class about what happened in Texas and the awful tragedy that it was. We talked about how our actions affect others and so your kids decided it would be a good idea to send letters to a 4th grade class in Houston and tell them about how sorry we were that they were going through this. Your kids came up with the idea, wrote the letters, and even picked the school that it should go to in Houston.
I feel very lucky to have some of the sweetest 4th graders in the world!
