Thank you to Soliel’s Mom, Mrs. Heather, for being our first Mystery Reader this week! We enjoyed listening to “Who Will I Be?” By Abby Huntsman. Students had a great conversation about what they do for OTHERS! SERVANT LEADERSHIP at its finest!
NEW (TO US!) TECHNOLOGY IN OUR CLASSROOM! We are so excited to have 3 additional desktops bringing our total number of devices to 10! WOO HOO! A special thanks to Mr. Kenny for getting us all set-up!
Thank you to Emma’s Dad, Mr. Brandon, for being our second Mystery Reader this week! He read one of my ALL TIME favorite books – “Tikki Tikki Tembo” by Arlene Mosel! We enjoyed figuring out who had the longest name in our class… although it had no comparison to Tikki-tikki-Tembo-No-Sa-Rembo-Chari-Bari-Ruchi-Pip-Peri-Pembo’s 50 letters!
