I hope you all are having a great weekend! I have been patiently awaiting this upcoming week for quite some time. This week we will be starting...JUNIOR GREAT BOOKS! Thanks to the Sarah Smith Education Foundation, your child will be exploring literature through a "shared inquiry" approach to learning. I am looking forward to this week as your child interprets our first text, "The Black Hen's Egg." Please take a look at the following link to learn more about how your child will be exploring literature:
