We have survived and thrived through the first 4 weeks of school. Unbelievable! Our classroom is a diverse group of learners. Many are learning their letter sounds, and some are reading lots of books! At math time we go in three directions, so everyone’s math level is just right. In Writer’s Workshop, we have students telling stories through pictures, and students writing multi-page books. We are also making friends and becoming a supportive, helpful and cohesive group. Please enjoy pictures of some of the things we’ve been up to.
