Where's Luke?

This post is dedicated to Luke. He is a student in our classroom who has recently moved and we can't wait to hear about his new adventures! We will use this space to ask questions, make comments, and hopefully communicate with our friend Luke. We will also use this space to keep Luke up to date with what's going on in class! Looking forward to reading your Blogs.
