I hope you had an enjoyable vacation time.  I certainly did!  I was able to visit my daughter in Baltimore.  We went to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in Washington, D.C. We saw how our paper money is made and even met Rosie Rios, the Treasurer of the United States!   I also visited my grandchildren in Seattle. I taught them how to make Christmas ornaments and decorate gingerbread men. I even went to preschool with my granddaughter.  Finally, Mr. Petuya and I enjoyed the warm weather and beaches in Los Angeles.  We even went to see the La Brea Tar Pits and the many fossils found there.

Welcome to 2014!  It’s great to be back at school with my super second graders.
