Aaliyah is our Star of the Week. We loved all of her pictures and her Little Gym medal. Happy Birthday to Katelyn and Aaliyah who turned 6 this week.
We started our week with the 101st day of school and of course had to make 101 dalmatian hats. We have been learning all about the importance of Martin Luther King's work. We created our own pictures with a directed Art activity and then wrote how we can learn from his words.
