There is a window in our garage where you can see the cut and split wood stacked up. It is a portal into how the weather has been through the winter months. By mid-January, you can tell if the weather has been warm because there are tiers of wood stacked up to the height of the bottom sash of the window. If the weather has been cold, there is no wood visible. This year I can see plenty of dried wood. It's comforting to see the woods stacked so high. It let's us know we have done well with conserving the use of the wood in the wood stove. The sight of wood through the garage window is like a gauge radiating out letting us know we can make it through the rest of the winter in the warmth.Beginning next week, your child will be participating in the mid-year reading and writing assessments. These assessments serve as a gauge to help your child's teacher monitor the progress your child is making. The results of the assessments will be stored in your child's portfolio so that you can view them.
