Our day was fantastic! Have a wonderful weekend!

Just want to let you know that I will not be here on Thursday or Friday this week. My family likes to take a long trip over the December break to visit family in Florida. I am so sorry to miss those days, but we will have Mrs. Reid here, and she will carry out the plans as usual. Mrs. Reid has been in our classroom many times, and she knows how things run. She will keep the learning going. I will return on Monday, January 3rd for a great new year with you!
