We had another fantastic week in Room 4. Your kids amaze me every day with their kindness, intelligence, and enthusiasm. This week we made pinwheels and windsocks, wrote paragraphs about living in snow globes, explored length, weight and capacity, and worked on reading and writing words with the sounds we are learning.
Here is what we have coming up:
