Hello Mrs. Thompson's class!

Hello!
I have heard what a great group of students you are! We are in Heard County and I am the media specialist at our school. I updated the survey. Please vote on the kind of books you like. That will help me when I make an order for more books!
You may click on the comments on the Pompeii books to see what our students found while researching this interesting subject. If you want to comment here, click on the comments and let me hear from you.

BTW, Mrs. Thompson... I think your students deserve a marble for learning about blogs! So, add one to the jar from me.
