Happy New Year


I hope that everyone had a wonderful winter break. I enjoyed a “staycation” eating lots of sweets.

I want to thank the class as a whole for the wonderful gift card that I received for a special store that sells my favorite sweaters. I haven’t purchased anything yet but will let you know when I do. Thanks also for the itunes gift card. This has come in handy for music and apps.

I look forward to seeing the sea creature reports and learning about all the creatures that we may see at Pigeon Point.

I hope that you are all excited and getting ready for our Pigeon Point trip. We leave this Wednesday. It looks like we will have pretty good weather, but remember we are right on the coast so please follow the packing suggestions.
