February has arrived!

Dear Sixth Graders,
I read all of your postings about Obama's inauguration. Many of you watched it and will always remember his first day as U.S. president. It was also fun to read everyone's reaction to all the snow we had in January. Some people love snow and even go snowboarding. Others hate the snow and try to stay inside. I'm a snow fan myself, and often I go skiing on my way home from school. There is an awesome place to ski halfway between Watertown and Natick, which is lucky for me!
Today I'm asking you to write about two topics. First of all, it's progress report day. Please tell me whether you are meeting your goals in school. Are you satisfied with your progress and your grades? We still have several weeks until your second report card, and I would like to know what help you might need. The second topic is to tell me what you are looking forward to doing next week during winter vacation.
Finally, it's Valentine's Day, and I hope you all have a delightful day and a wonderful week off!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Powers
