Since it is Black History Month, here's some trivia for you:
Do you know the name of the first black astronaut in space?
Do you know who refused to give up her seat on a bus?
Who is the boxer known to 'sting like a butterfly'?
Who ran for the presidency in 1098?
Can you guess the author of these personal "Songs"?
Come to my Rescue
I'm trustworthy
My friends can trust me.
Your secret is safe with me.
Watch Me
Here I plan
Entertaining the entertained
It amuses me
It's who I am
Hear What I Have to Say
Music is what I like
Music is my life,
Music is sound
Feel good to hear it.

Week of February 11
Congratulations to Ashley Maghirang and John Irish for winning the 7th grade level Spelling Bee! Next up for these two is the District Bee which will be held at Prairieview this week. Good luck!
This is the last week we will study punctuation and capitalization. What are the main differences between a friendly and business letter? Can you use colons and semi colons correctly? What about interjections?
The accelerated class will present their Lyddie projects this week. I am looking forward to the creativity and work that I am sure went into these projects.
