Conference week comes early at Pine Meadow. I really like conference time, and having the dream class, I was excited to be able to share all the successes in just a few short weeks. While it can be late nights, I tried to use my extra time  purposefully,

and I found a few minutes to hang up our helping hands,

and correct some papers. But, the best part was a surprise gift left on my desk, the first of 2 stacks of brand new books for our classroom.

 (Gotta love those teacher wish lists, and sweet, sweet, Annika!!)
