We had so much fun with Diamond Del!  What a cool experience!

Thank you to Mrs. Valla for being our Mystery Reader today!  We enjoyed the book “Make Way for Ducklings” by Robert McCloskey.  We loved hearing about your job as a brain trainer and giving us some helpful strategies on how to cope with intense feelings!
