Odds and Ends:
Happy Spring!
What a great first 3 days getting to know your marvelous children! I cannot wait to spend the rest of the year with them. We had a great comfy clothes and stuffed animal marble party on Wednesday, and I had a great time getting to know them more by eating lunch with them in the classroom. :) :Let's hope the weather really turns into spring with no more snow!!
