Happy Teachers!

Miss Stacia and I were over the moon (what does this mean?) to receive a flower from Daily.

What a thoughtful gesture :)

  2. Choose 5 objects which are important to your book and explain why they are important
  3. Recommend your book to a type of person and explain why they'd like it

Explanations:
