Hi Families!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  Emma (my dog) and I were in a car accident....we're ok!!! With the exception of some bumps and bruises.  But for now, I'm car-less.  I have reason to believe the other driver was texting.  I now understand, first hand, how important it is to turn your cell phone off while you're driving.  Anyway....we had a super week in Kindergarten.  Check out the pictures below!
