Happy New Year!!

Hi Students of much happiness! Mrs. Shore and I hope you had a most adventurous Holiday Season. We can't wait to see you when school gets started again. When you get back we are going to start a new story in reading and begin subtraction with regrouping in math. We have approximately 9 more days of school until we begin the next six-week grading period. I hope you all got some fantastic books over the Holiday and have been reading. (I have to admit, I read all of the Twilight Series books. It was about 2400 pages of non-stop excitement).
