Welcome Back!

Welcome back to a great new school year!  I have not had my blog up and running in a while, but have decided to get it going again!  My hope is to write a statement or two about things that happened in the classroom/school every day as well as any information you may need.  The children should also have these items written in their agendas for you to read in case we have any technical difficulties.
