We are off and running with our new curriculums this week. The students will get to know all of the books in the different series that we are using. We are going to begin with ELA and Math and next week I will rotate Science and Social Studies into our daily lessons.
Besides our academics, we will be focusing on being good people and lifting up those around us with kindness. I have found that students learn best in this type of environment and I’m dedicated to providing that for all of the children in my classroom.
