A huge thank you to everyone for making my birthday great! Obviously someone has been paying attention, as my gifts from the class were perfect- Starbucks gift card, chocolates, flowers, a fabulous gift card for dinner out, and my favorite red velvet cake! I really enjoy working with all of your children and my partnership with your families. Thanks for a great birthday. :-)

Today we switched Math and Grammar and learned a lot about the Parts of Speech. Also during Fun Friday and me and Zoie cleaned the hamster cage and added some tubes that are made of paper towel rolls while the hamsters were rolling around in their balls. They were in their balls even while Ms. Gagea's class was here.
