January 17th

We have continued this week, reading and learning about farms.  We have learned about the importance of animals on the farm and the different types of animals you might find on a farm.  Next week we will learn about crops.  The kids are excited to go to a real dairy farm in May!

Please note for next week:  No school Monday!  Friday, I will be taking the high school ski team to a race up north, so I will be out of the classroom.
