Good Ideas with Ms. Nahurski

 Today we were so lucky to have our own Ms. Nahurksi stop by to help us think about making good choices.  She read a really funny book called The Book of Bad Ideas.  
We learned that often times ideas start out seeming pretty good, but then sometimes end up not being so great.   
Thanks Ms. Nahurski for reminding us to stop and think "Is this a good idea or a bad idea."  We all agree that anytime Ms. Nahurski can stop by our class- it's a great idea!

Late Start This Morning

This morning is a two hour late start. See you all at 10.

Remember, No School Tomorrow.
