Classroom News Welcome to the new 2015-16 school year! I am excited about this new adventure in 2nd Grade. I am looking forward to a fabulous year! I had an adventurous summer full of many memorable and learning opportunities: visiting my son Dylan in Denver, Colorado; taking a graduate class at Edgewood; participating in workshops to help me prepare for the upcoming school year; fishing and nature watching at my cabin; reading many professional, recreational and children’s books; gardening and playing with my dogs, Abe & Haley; and getting ready for the new school year.
