I hope everyone has wonderful 3-day weekend!  I kept hearing all week from the students about their upcoming trips.  :)

Note:  Class pictures are now being uploaded to the class Shutterfly account.  It is easier to organize photos there and it keeps pictures of your children private since you need to be invited to join.  I uploaded a bunch today so please sign up and check them out!  :)  Please let me know if you did not receive an invite.
