I hope that you had a great Mother's Day. The children were very excited about their plants and cards.
We finished part of our testing last week and the class did a great job. We will continue with testing through out this week as well.
Thank you so much for your more than generous gifts. I feel more than appreciated! It has been a pleasure working with you and your children this year. I am grateful to have such a wonderful group of families to work with!
Have a great week!
