Happy New Year!I hope you had a relaxing and fun-filled vacation. I enjoyed spending time with my family (see pix). Our celebrating got off to a great start when we went to Princeton to see Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Over the vacation, we walked around NYC, went to the Whitney (there's a great Calder exhibit), and ate at some good restaurants.
Now that everyone is gone and the house is quiet, it's time to get back to the routine of things. Although it was crazy at times, it was fun while it lasted! I am already looking forward to our next "family reunion".
The New Year always brings the dreaded question, "So, what's your New Years resolution?"
I resolve to eat less sweets (which lasts about 12 hours), but I seriously resolve to make better efforts to give back to the community, by volunteering and doing more random acts of kindness.
Before you get back to the hectic schedule of carpooling and keeping on a schedule, take the time to ask yourself, "What changes would I like to make for myself and others?"
Check out scholastic.com.
for some good conversation starters to have with your child about some goals that they would like to make for themselves in 2009. We will have a discussion in class upon our return to school.
Reminders:
Classes resume on Monday, January 5th.
No School on January 19th....MLK observance
Parent -Teacher Conferences the week of January 26th.
Shortened session on Friday, Jan. 30th.
On a final note, I would like to thank you for the generous and thoughtful presents you gifted me with. I enjoyed the home-baked goodies, handmade cards, photographs and good wishes.
Once again, I would like to extend my good wishes to you and your family, for a very happy, healthy, and productive New Year.
