Baby!

We welcomed baby James "Jimmy" Joseph Folger Wednesday June 18th at 3:26 pm. He weighed 7 lbs and 9 oz, and measured 20.5 in long. We are just in love with Jimmy!

ABC Countdown to Summer Vacation

As a class we are counting down the days until summer, the days until we will be in kindergarten, and approximately until Mrs. Folger's baby comes (which is more days than we have left of school).  Each day will be a different activity. Check our Friday letter for the reminders. At the end of each day we will pop a ballon to see what tomorrow will be.
