Hello.
I'm looking out at a snowy and windy day. Last week was crazy and this week is starting out that way too! Well, we live in IOWA.
This week I will be in the WH district on Tuesday and Thursday, Jan. 26th & 28th.
On the 26th, I will be in Kanawha. On Thursday, I will meet with the 1st and 4th grades.
The 4th grade will work in the computer lab using various websites to search for facts about Iowa. The 1st grade will make star bookmarks after listening the the Eric Carle book, Draw Me A Star.
Several well-known authors and illustrators celebrate their birthdays this week...
