All I had to do was read your post to the class and I felt like the second graders learned so much. They were so excited about Sam's birthday. They had so many questions. They thought Sam would want to see them. We will try and post during class next week! Happy birthday, Samuel Emery!; October 28, 2011 at 10:59 PM
