Dear families, We had a very eventful week awaiting the arrival of the baby chicks. They are here! The students have watched them peck their ways into the world and gain the strength to get on their feet. It is fascinating to observe the first few days of life. First grade has been preparing for the upcoming Authors' Celebration. The students have been working diligently on perfecting their stories and illustrations. They are all very excited to read their stories to you. This past week, we were very fortunate to receive a visit from the Kindness club of Ms. Tammaro and Ms. Lawless. The older group of students came to our class to play board games. The first grade was so appreciative to share this special time together. I look forward to seeing you this week. Have a great weekend. Seema Curriculum HighlightsMathematics
