Mrs. Black went to Alaska this summer!!! Whoop whoop!!!

I finally visited the 50th state for me!!! I had been in every one except Alaska and so this summer I finally got to go...oh how AMAZING!!! I will be sharing many things with your children about that!!!  I saw glaciers, whales, moose, reindeer, bald eagles, salmon, and many beautiful snowcapped mountains!! Loved it all!!!

Registration was GREAT! I loved meeting you all!

It is always so very exciting to come to registration to find our where your new classroom is going to be and who the new teacher is. Our school was ready to greet everyone!  It is going to be a great year!!

Guest Reader

I was thrilled when a former student of mine, Nyamal Tuor, asked if she could read to my class on Valentine's Day.  She is a precious young lady and is now a junior in high school.  She did an amazing job and also talked to my students about character and integrity...just love her dearly!!!
