| First
grade and we are off to a great
start. It is not so
easy to sit still for very long, so
we are working on things we can do
to manage the time. Having our own
desk is quite a treat. We have a
place for all of those books,
pencils, colors, glue sticks and a
eraser. Life does not get much
better! |
 RELIGION
