Peek at our week 10/13-10/17

Good morning parents and guardians,

I hope you all had a great week! Did your kiddos come home and tell you about the boats we made in class? They were beyond excited during the week as we learned about Christopher Columbus and how different kinds of boats are made. They were even more excited yesterday when I began to set up! Everytime I explained an item they screamed! It was the best feeling for me as a teacher. I try my best to create moments like this, moments of fun learning. Some students got really creative with their boats, it was an amazing day!

Let's take a took at some REACH news:

Classroom news:

        The room moms and I have created a classroom shutter fly page. I thought this would be another great way to stay in contact with each other, and share class pictures in a safe way.

If you would like to become a member please send me an email and we will send you an invitation to get access to our page.

As always, please feel free to send me an email or stop by the room with any questions or concerns. Have a great weekend!
