I hope your weekend is going well. I am so happy to be back in class! I missed my kiddos and watching them learn and grow in the classroom. Scholastic book orders need to be in by October 28. Orders can always be placed online using the link to the right of the page and they will arrive quicker. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.
