March 18-22, 2013
I hope you all enjoyed your Spring Break! I certainly did. Well, the time has finally come for me to leave for Italy. My daughter, Taegan, and I will be traveling for 10 days with her soccer team to play in a soccer tournament and explore the country. I really hate to be out of the classroom for so long, but this is an opportunity for her that I couldn’t pass. I will update my blog as often as I can so you can see pictures and read about what we are doing each day.
I will be out beginning this Thursday, March 21st. I will be back in the classroom Tuesday, April 2nd.
Please remind your child that we all expect their behavior and work ethic to be great for the substitute. Ms. Brown comes highly recommended by Mrs. Cramer and many others!
