Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Today we finished school for the year.  And what a year it has been (with earthquakes and snow) - we all deserve a big holiday!

I feel very privileged to have taught such a wonderful class of children this year.  I will have many fond memories of Room 1, 2011, and hope that they remember their time in Room 1 as well.

Merry Christmas to you and your families.

Love from Mrs Jones
