Week 8 Over the Hill!

I do not know if it was the visit from Ms. Bertha Bog or the seat assignments that did it, but today the kids did sooooooo GREAT with keeping the talking to a minimum :)  I was so proud of them.  Oh...who is Bertha Bog????
Her Story...
Miss Bertha Bog's Tale

Our class...

PICTURE DAY!!!!!  NEXT WEEK!!!! Even if you are not planning on purchasing pictures, please plan on having your child's picture taken for a yearbook that Foundations is putting together.  Families who do not have children in Foundations can have their pictures made starting at 8:50am.  (Please try to come early if you can)  Families with children in Foundations can come get their child when it is their turn throughout the day.  Erin is aware we have a Latin quiz at 10am.  There will also be a group picture at lunchtime.  All pictures for Challenge A will most likely be finished before we come back from lunch.
