Highlight of the Week
Our Holiday Party was a huge success! The kids absolutely loved planning the party and presenting the results to Mrs. Li,osnero. Thank you Mrs. Limosnero for all the party planning and to all the Moms and Dads (and Grandpa) that pitched in to help. Thank you also for participating in the letters from Santa. It is my most cherished memory of the year. I just love to see the pure joy and excitement in the children's eyes. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Website of the Week
Driven by Pedagogy, Supported by Technology (and not vice versa),
Happy Numbers is a great differentiated learning center in the classroom and excellent for practicing math at home.
