Upcoming Week 12/16-12/20

We have reached the final week before winter break. During this season of giving, I reflect on the gift that is each boy and girl in Room 204. These scholars are curious, inquisitive, thoughtful, and hilarious. Teachers don't get to pick their classes, but if I could, this is the class I would pick.
