Question for Parents:
Julia wants to know; If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

*giggle moment*

When we were learning about tables in math Xander thought we were talking about tables we eat on!

  1. Thank you for having me to your classroom!

    If I could visit anywhere, it would be Nova Scotia (Canada), because I love looking at tidal pools, and I hear the ones in Nova Scotia are WONDERFUL.

    (I'd need to go in summer, though. It's very cold there right now.)

  3. I would like to take Mattie and Katie to Greece so we could see where they filmed Mamma Mia and see all the historic buildings.
