May 16th Homework and Information

Hi everyone,

I'm really grateful for all the birthday wishes and gifts.  This year has been very special for me and I am grateful for each of you in my class each day.  I hope we can keep all this positive energy as we move through the year.  Sometimes I just stop and think about how many incredible students I have.  Each of you have your unique talents and passions.  My job is to bring out all those talents and help you share your skills and talents with others.  My job is much easier with such a talented group!
