Whew! We walked to the Schoolhouse and Bradt Museums this morning, then had lunch and a little play time in the park. It thundered the whole way "home," but we made it back just before the skies let loose. Our many thanks to Mrs. Lakata, Mrs. Akey, and Jordan Stofa for accompanying us and making it possible to tour in two groups. Mr. and Mrs. Cramer were both available to guide us through the Schoolhouse Museum - thank you to both!
Each year I make a yearbook filled with pictures of our class activities. This year I made a digital scrapbook that you can order if you wish. The cost is $45 for a full color, spiral bound yearbook including all taxes, shipping, and handling. I can show you what it will look like if you'd like to stop by the classroom to see it before you decide to order or not. If you choose to order a yearbook, please make a check out to me and I will have it sent directly to your home.
