Hello Friends, How are you doing today? Are you counting down the days until school is out? Last time I checked, you should have less than twenty days until school is out for the summer!! That’s exciting! Are you making any plans? I’m sure not doing or worrying about homework is the first thing on your to do list! I don’t know about you, but once school was out for the summer, I put my backpack in the closest and didn’t look for it until August! Thinking about summer plans, maybe during......

Hello Friends, How are you doing on this last day of April? As I say at the end of every month, “I can’t believe this month is over already!” This time I really mean it: it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and waving palm branches in the air, and then we were finding colorful Easter Eggs.

Hello Friends, Happy Easter! or should I say, “Hoppy Easter!” Did the Easter Bunny come visit you today? I think I received a visit from the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny didn’t leave my anything but I noticed that a couple of my cereal boxes were EMPTY, an egg carton was EMPTY, the milk jug was EMPTY, the lemonade container was EMPTY, and my candy jar was EMPTY. Maybe the Easter Bunny ate all my food so that he/she would have enough energy to visit you! Do you know of something else......
