Happy Memorial Day!


HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO YOU!

I hope you took time to celebrate the Freedoms granted to us by the efforts of our ancestors and military personnel. I can assure you that I enjoyed the holiday and took time to remember, pray and give thanks for our military and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving.

God Bless America!

Things Are Getting Busy!

Wow! The time continues to speed up and fly by!
Students are getting excited for the summer fun. I will gladly admit that I am looking forward to it as well.

I would like to go on record again as saying, "I have such a great group of kids". Thank you parents and students. I have really enjoyed sharing this learning experience with the students.

We still have a good deal of work to do between now and the end of the year. Students are actively investigating the Civil War.

PS....homework was given for tonight. (May 23rd) It is due Tuesday.
