Sad News! Due to complications with the server, frequency of website updating will be limited. I am able to update text and links easily, but am having complications with pictures. All current images and content will remain intact for the remainder of the school year (and through the summer) but new pictures will be very limited. I apologize for the change, and I have very much appreciated all your wonderful feedback about our classroom website! I know how important it is for you and your family to be able to see your children at work. Miss Rebecca Smith
