School starts tomorrow!!!

Ladies and Gentleman,

School starts tomorrow!!!!  Summer has flown by and it is time for us to get back to the business of learning.  So after I post the 7 new posts in my mailbox we will be tallying the results and drawing names for the prizes for the summer reading contest.

But we can still post about books if you would like I will be coming to your classrooms to discuss this with you very soon!!!  I hope everyone has a great school year!!!
