Happy New Year and Welcome Back!
Second semester of 4th grade is a whirlwind of activity. It includes more learning, choir showcases, parties, test prep, and sadly...STAAR testing. Before you know it, we will be sending the kids off to Spring Break and then 5th grade. Get ready...
"My Dog Ate It"
I'm sure you've also heard about Cooper, the Great Dane puppy I got back in October. I'm sorry to say that I can now use the excuse, "My dog ate it" to describe what happened to the card containing the families who contributed to the class gift. I'm horrified to even write this, but I wanted to let each and every one of you know how deeply I appreciate your gift. Luckily, Cooper seems to have an affinity for paper and not the actual gifts. I'm attaching a picture to show just how destructive my not-so-little dog is.
I promise to find a way to make this situation right, but in the mean time...thank you thank you thank you.
