It is almost time!

Salvete omnes,

Well, tonight is the Ice Cream Social - I am so excited to see everybody again! The classroom is almost set up - I will have the projector permanently hooked up to my computer so we can watch many PowerPoint presentations (more fun than my handwriting!), and there is a nice corner that you can sit and "hang out." There are a bunch of stressbusters materials, too, so you can read fun books and comics if you need to smile. :)

As I always say: LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!

Amplexus ("Hugs!"),
