    I don’t know if you’ve heard great things about me or Mrs. Dufendach, but you’ll have both of us teaching you. We are very excited to meet you, too. I was just told by Mr. Alexander that you had a really good year in fourth grade. Hope you have an even better one this year. See you soon, Mrs. Wahr!

    You are welcome to make your own box or bag and bring it in. We would prefer it not to be a competition, though. We can enjoy your craft without a contest!
