Thank you for the baby shower on Friday!  We had fun celebrating Baby Ludtke in our classroom.  They all weighed in on some name options and drew pictures of what they think she will look like.  Now it's a waiting game!  We will have to see if anyone is right :) Pink and purple cupcakes were also a special treat!  Classroom News Conferences: Thank you for coming last week!  It was great to get the chance to connect with you before I leave.
