I received this email from a guest that was in our school recently.
Dear Mr. Dahline and Mr. Schroeder,
I had the distinct privilege of being invited to your school as a guest speaker on Wednesday, April 6th in Ms. Felty's child development class. I had the time of my life in those few short hours in your school. I found your students to be attentive and very receptive. Together we explored the reading behaviors of toddlers and preschoolers, how to choose a book appropriate for toddlers/preschoolers and how to read to toddlers/preschoolers. I have attached a few photos from the work your students' took up. As you can see they were extremely engaged as they worked to prepare for their upcoming "Play School" event.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the opportunity to work with these amazing students and to share with you how much I appreciated being apart of your learning community, if only for one day. It is exciting to see the great teaching and learning that is happening in your High School.
Sincerely,
Teresa
