We will spread the little treats out over a one to 2 week period between the Primary classes to whom we will read.  Thanks if you are able to send something in!

Mrs. Kossey is in tomorrow, Wednesday.  Then, the students have a break.  I will be taking a workshop on how to make slideshows for the year end and for our weekly hallway slideshow.  I already do this but I will learn some new tricks!  Then, I can start to work with more of the students in our classroom to teach them how to make a slideshow.
Happy Easter!
