New Pictures Posted!

A huge thank you goes out to Isabelle and her family who donated a digital camera to our classroom! Mrs. Perry was very sad when her old camera died of old age, but thanks to Isabelle's family's generous gift, we are once again able to document all the things that happen in our classroom! First and foremost, check out our class pictures page to see all the pictures from our biography presentations. We had many famous visitors in our classroom, all of who did an outstanding job informing us about their lives!

You can add your own personal thank you to Isabelle and her family by adding your own comment to this post.
