becomes beat stressed due to the hot,
humid weather.

Kindergarten I had a special visitor to-
day, Mrs. Cameron and her new baby girl
Meagan. We all got to hold her. She was
very quiet because she slept all the time.
We made Valentine Heart Faces today to
decorate the bulletin board. We are all
glad to have Jonathan Drennan back after
getting out his tonsils last week.
Room 3 just completed a unit on ground
hogs and friendships.

had a great trip to the Wawanosh Valley

ing them to the school or send them to us.

days and win $50. So far in the story Billy
has eaten 10 worms! We are studying
