Happy First week of school!

Hi everyone!

 We have had a great first 4 days together.  Yesterday we began a time called Special Person.  Each day we will randomly choose one person to tell us a story about something they have done with their family.  Then we write stories on the same topic and make the Special Person a book of stories.

Yesterday, the Special Person was Juliet who told us about visiting Rio to see her cousin playing with the women's water polo team at the Olympics - they won gold!

Today, the Special person was Emma P. - she told us a story about watching a movie this summer with her family - such fun!

Thank you all of the kind words and support this week - your children are kind, sweet and hardworking - we are off to a great year!  Check out the pictures below to see some of what we have been busy working on this week!

We love the new playground equipment!!
