Welcome to the Site!

          Here you can keep up with the work we're doing in class so you'll never miss out. You will be able to print out homework and find out what we're doing when you're absent. I will also be uploading many fascinating videos, pictures, and facts that you are free to enjoy. This site will be very useful and you can send an email or post a comment if you have any questions. Here on the home page, I will be posting fun things along the year that go with the holidays and anything that is interesting. I wish you all the best of luck in this class at Wynn Elementary School under Wynn De Palement Academy for Boys and Girls. I'm sure it will be a great year!

    Here is a Quick Kids Fun Survey to Get to Know You Better:

Do You Enjoy Cooking?

If you do, go to http://lidiasitaly.com/ for information on Italian cooking. Lidia Bastianich is a Croation cook famous for her Italian dishes. Many praise her recipes and her cooking and I'm sure they taste wonderful. Most likely her cook books, including Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy, are in our school library. There are some videos posted on youtube with Bastianich cooking. If you like Italian food, you'll be sure to love Bastianich's recipes as well.
