Good Afternoon!
What an amazing week back it has been! The scholars of 1A have returned from break ready to learn and I am so very proud of them and am so happy to be back into the swing of things.
We look forward to the week ahead and expanding our sense of wonder when we visit the science center for our field trip at the end of the week!
