Happy 2017!

Welcome back everyone! It was so good to see smiling faces this morning. . .in between a few yawns. It`s never easy to return from a nice break, but we managed to get back into our routines slowly but surely. We had so much to share that we needed to start our day with a class meeting to hear all the adventures we were up to over the holidays.

We found out that one of our friends will be leaving our learning community and moving to another school. Today was her last day. This brought on some sadness as well as good wishes for all that lies ahead for our good friend, Stacey. We love you and we will miss you, Stacey.

Here are our thoughts:
