We are so excited about our bookmarks for our NEW books!

Our Christmas party was a blast!  Thank you Erika Gassman, Karen Munson, Stephanie Sommerio, and Stephanie Burfield for all your help with planning, games, and food. We all had such a great time. Also, thank you to the parents that took the time to come celebrate and enjoy the party with us!  We love when you come to visit.

We had to shake the bells out of the box that was tied to our waist.

Each day the kids will get something from me to help us count down our week to Christmas Break.  Today the kids got a week of NO homework. When I say no homework, I mean no homework!  No X-tra Math, no reading, or finishing any papers that come home.
