Happy New Year & Welcome Back!

Happy New Year! I am excited to start the last half of our school year with you! This week we will start learning Mandarin Chinese and are welcoming our very own native Chinese speaker into our classroom! Ms. Mandy will be speaking to the 5th grade this Wednesday about Chinese Culture and Language. We are very lucky to have her!
