Are you ready for the next two weeks? The only way I can be ready is to break down everything into itsy bitsy steps like we do in our writing. Take a deep breath, because here we go!
TODAY! Our Shutterfly Account has new pictures and videos!
- PICTURES: Thank you for your Kids Food Basket donations! Check out our pictures of our 1st grade friends putting together breakfast bags.
- VIDEOS: So far, we have made two videos for our pen pals at Burton Elementary. The first is our personal introductions and second is our introduction to Wealthy Elementary. We are awaiting their video so we can compare and contrast what is similar and what is different about our schools. They are so excited about this relationship!
