Fantastic Friday

We held our class spelling bees today. I was very proud of all the kids who chose to participate. As I always tell the kids, what truly matters most is that we try our best and enjoy ourselves. Hopefully, then, we'll be happy.

What we’re doing in class…

Reading - We read JSTF in silence for the last time
