Spring is in the air!!

Happy Spring! I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break!  I know I enjoyed the time off. :)  Hopefully everyone comes back well rested and ready to learn.  We have TWO WEEKS until we take our TCAP tests.  The next two weeks are so important.  Please try to have your child here everyday and on time.  We have a lot of work to do!

Over the break I decided to start a class blog. I will start posting my weekly newsletters on here and any other important reminders.  Let me know what you think!
