Hi Moms and Dads,

How wonderful it was to see everyone this week.  I've enjoyed having all my friends back together!  January will be an exciting month.   We are participating in a cultural study of Spain.  On Friday, we took an 8 hour "plane ride" to Barcelona, Spain to kick off our study.  We had our suitcases packed, our tickets taken up, and our passports stamped!  The Kindergarten classes will be focusing on Spanish holidays.  Our class will focus especially on the "Festival of the Three Kings".
