Rent a birthday...

This is our good friend, Ike from Ms. Johnson's room.  He was kind enough to share his personal narrative with our class and answered some questions.  Mrs. Helling also had a "special" birthday treat for Ike, as she had NO birthdays in December.  THANKS, IKE!!!  You did an awesome job!!!
