I hope that everyone had a great long weekend. We began the first day of our second quarter today.

Some announcements for today:

• Yan-Xi was announced as the "Angel of the Week!" I'm so proud of how hard Yan-Xi works in and out of the classroom. He is a valued and valuable member of his school community.  

 Congratulations, Yan-Xi! 
We love your wonderful enthusiasm and kind heart!

• We will have our class party tomorrow after accumulating ten "good day monsters!" We will eat pizza and other treats, play a game and watch a bit of the Lego Movie (which is requested on a daily basis). 
• Thank you for completing the school-wide surveys and sending them in. They will help inform the school about future decisions.  
• I was sick this morning and had to go visit the doctors, so I was unable to review the students' midterm exams with them. I will do this on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tonight's homework: In your language notebook, write 6-8 sentences about a book that you have just finished or are currently reading. Include a drawing and the book's title.

1. juicy
2. reached
