Wow! It's been a crazy couple of weeks with all these snow days! The kids seem like they are settling back into a routine today. Miss B. is taking over much of the teaching in our classroom and is doing a fantastic job! We are lucky to have her here with us. She will be with us through the end of April!
We are finishing up our reading unit on our Country and Culture this week and next week. The kids have been learning all about traditions and sharing traditions they have.
Next we will be learning all about plants!
