Happy New Year! :)

I sure hope that you're enjoying your new year. You are going to learn a lot in fourth grade-it was my favorite year in elementary. I hope you find it rewarding. Can you believe that we already missed a day due to Isaac? Have you been tracking him? There's always something to learn and do. Keep up the good work and enjoy the experience!

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ You can track Isaac here at the NATIONAL HURRICANE CTR in Miami.
