Grade One Welcome!

Hello little one....I can't believe that you are starting grade one. It seems like yesterday that I was bringing you home from the hospital. We are going to have such a great year together, learning how to read, and doing lots of fun experiments. We will have lots of time together to read our books on the couch and snuggle up with a blanket. I can't wait!

Love,

Mom
