You can expect to find, weekly updates of what we are doing in our classroom including fun pictures of some of our classroom adventures! Additionally, you will find many reminders and things I would like you to be on the look out for as they come home. I hope families find this to be a useful tools, and I am definitely open to suggestions. If you have any suggestions to make our classroom blog more useful, please let me know.
