Jan. 28-Feb.1

Dear Parents,
    We have a lot to be excited about in our class after this past week! We had a very successful week of Small Groups, where the students were engaged in three separate and meaningful activities. Thank you to all of the volunteers! I hope that you had as much fun as I did! We also launched "Read-a-Thon" with a pep rally last Thursday and a Read All Day Pajama Day on Friday. This upcoming week we will be looking at another Junior Great Books' story. This week we will be diving into Eeyore Has A Birthday.

Here's a look into the curriculum this week:
