Dear Parents,

Well this was a long one and next week as well as we make the push to New Year's. Due to the extra days off we have had to make up on Saturday two weeks in a row and I for one feel for the kids. We did get quite a lot done and this week was a very productive one. We covered a lesson in all of the subjects as well as the workbook writing pages as well. We got around to doing a New Year's themed craft as well, which was fun for the kids to complete.

Next week will also be a productive one I anticipate. If this week was any indication of how well they can produce work then I have full confidence that we will be ale to make some real progress before the end of the year. So keep up the good work guys and we will be right on schedule going into next year.

I hope everyone enjoys their short weekend and stays dry and I'll see all of you bright and early Monday morning.
