Dec. 2-6

Hi! Sorry it has been so long since I posted. I have been waaayyyy behind on this! I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving Break. I know I did and am so very thankful for the family and friends I spent mine with. As most of you know, I am a huge Alabama fan and wasn't too happy with the loss on Saturday. However, I must say, I a BAMA Girl through and through and I am so proud of the BAMA team this year. I know it was a tough way to end the season, but as a BAMA fan, I am proud still:)

Here is what is happening in our class this week...
