Sing Books with Emily, the Blog

The last day for Ms. A’s Ks of 2010/2011.  Today, the singing was such sweet sorrow.  Luckily, so as to remember the joy, the class gave me a signed picture of the whole class.  What could be more wonderful?  I’ll remember those wonderful little faces just as they are now.  Thanks kids for singing-along.  Thank You Ms. A for the wonderful experience!  Have a great summer!
