We Are On a Break!!!

Christmas break has officially started! Hooray! Thank you all for a fantastic and fun first semester. You have earned this break, but I will miss you over the next couple of weeks. We have explored history ( and current events) from Columbus through the Reconstruction after the Civil War. I hope you have learned a lot about the history of our country and seen the way it still effects our nation today. We still have a ways to go, but we have made it half way through.

Today was so much fun! I laughed a lot and discovered a new toy I MUST get myself; slime. Wow! That was interesting. Gift exchanges are always fun and a great way to discover new things. Of course, no party is complete without food! I have a lot of left overs though. Hmmmm..... who is going to eat all this food?
