Good Morning Grade 1!

Today is "trying" Tuesday, May 5th.

It looks like it is going to be another dark, rainy day. Maybe it wil a jammie day for me today.

When it's rainy I like to eat lots of snacks. I am going to try to stay away for the treats in the cupboard.

What are you going to try and do?

I was sooo happy to see some of you yesterday. It really made me smile to see your smiling faces. 

Have a terrific day, stay dry! 

Love, Mrs. Sobey
