We will be working hard on mastering addition and subtraction facts, polishing a wide range of writing skills as we become authors, and learning cursive, to name a few!
•A very big thank you to Ms. Conyers who shared with us the inspirational story 
before Christmas! We are so lucky to have Mystery Readers who share interesting stories and show us how much fun reading is!
