Some Part, Some Pie!

We had a great time. I hope you enjoyed the entire week of activities and loads of learning. I hope you share many of your ideas and skills with your families. If you make any pies, share your pictures and experiences with us. You can always leave a comment here, or wait until 2012! Remember to keep your brains active-practice your math facts, read, do some Reading Plus lessons-especially if you need to reach 25! I see many of you are on, or have surpassed 25-good work!

During the break, take time to be a blessing to your family, help them, show them you love them, and savor the memories spent with them. Treasure them in your hearts. :)

Let's get ready for an awesome 2012!
