Good Morning, 

          I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I hope you all had fun on your snow day. I wonder how many of you stayed up to watch the Super Bowl. Today is an ‘A’ day so we will go to Music. We will also be reading a commencement speech by Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple and PIXAR. 

         Please pick up an Ipad and then answer today’s Poll question. Last, work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
