I hope that everyone had a great unexpected week off! I think that I have seen enough snow and I’m ready to get back to work. We did miss our field trip to the Tellus Museum last week, but as soon as I have any information about a possible reschedule I will let you know.
Thanks go out to: Mrs. Thomas-Thank you for making copies for us. Arianna-Thank you for the great highlighter tape and magnetic clips which we put to use right away!
