One Last Week

Next week will be Mrs. Baker’s last week!  I am going to miss being a stay at home mommy, but I am so excited to be back in the classroom. I know the kiddos are going to miss Mrs. Baker so much.  Let’s show her some love for all her hard work over the last ten weeks.  Here are some goodies that she enjoys:

Drinks: coffee and vanilla Dr. Pepper

Snacks: Ritz Bits and Nutter Butters

Sweet treats: Snickers and Peanut M&M's

Favorite Flowers: Daisies

Feel free to have your kiddo bring any of these treats to Mrs. Baker next week!
