It was great to see the children proudly showing off their work to you at Open House. I loved standing back and observing the interaction as they explained what was on their desk and on display around the room. They deserve the recognition that you all gave them!
I have not gotten a chance to write my thank you notes yet for the generous donations that allowed me to buy several great books for the classroom library from the BOOK FAIR....so, I want to let you know in advance many thanks and I will get those personal notes delivered.
