Substitute: Tuesday, February 22, Valarie Young will again be taking my place in the classroom. I have to go to the conference office for a Curriculum Committee Meeting. The children will be in good hands. I think it’s nice for you to know ahead of time though so you can remind your student to be as helpful as possible.

Books: Alex & Mackenzie have finished 100 books this week! Congratulations to both of you. My guess is they will still have time to finish another 50 before the year is over.

Guest: Today, Mackenzie’s sister, Jessica, gave a presentation on Healthy Eating to the students. She is working on getting a scholarship for college. The presentation was part of the requirements for applying for that college money. We all hope she is successful.
