I hope everyone was able to enjoy this beautiful weekend! This is the final week of school for this academic year. It has definitely been a year filled with many challenges and difficult situations. I want to say a huge thank-you to all parents/ grandparents and caregivers who assisted and supported me to educate your children. I truly appreciate all you have done to help your children with distance learning. It has been my pleasure to teach your children this school year. I only wish I had more time to be with them in the classroom. You should be receiving notification regarding summer school in the upcoming days.

We made this fun Peeping Pancake Breakfast a few weeks ago and it’s SO easy to make! We poured our pancake mix in a heated pan into a egg shape. We cut around the edges with kitchen scissors to clean it up a bit. Cut it in half and make a zig zag pattern. Place the bottom half on the plate. Make some scrambled eggs and place on top of the pancake for the chicks head. Place the top of the pancake egg on the plate. We used 2 chocolate chips for the eyes and a small piece of a orange for the face.
