After a delayed start to the week due to freezing temperatures we are settling into a routine.  The 5th graders are starting on their Greatest American Stories.  The 6th graders practiced with Chinese Calligraphy characters.  Seventh graders are started on their hatching and cross hatching techniques and the 8th grade has had great discussions about fears and worries as we brainstorm ideas for our fear and worry jars.  Things are definitely off to a good start.
