Happy Birthday William!

Last week, we celebrated William's birthday. He brought in the book Dolphin Tale 2: The Junior Novel. We started reading a little bit and the kids were loving it. Many of them have seen both movies and know the stories of the lovable dolphins Winter and Hope. We will read a little bit each day since it is a chapter book.
