At a Glance
In crew this week, we shared qualities of a good friend. We talked about what makes a good friend, how to be a good friend, and what we do with good friends.
Thank you to Yichen's dad, Lin Wang, for coming and talking to us about the Chinese New Year. Thank you to Brayden's grandmother, Tracie Bauer, who has read books to the class every month. We now have these books as part of our class library thanks to Wells Fargo.
Special Reader- Brayden's grandmother, Tracie Bauer
