Mrs. Browe’s Class KDG
Thank you for making learning fun to end the year! I enjoyed playing new math games with you, working in centers and going down the slides with you on Thursday. You have found a love for learning that I am truly proud of: asking to join a reading group that’s not yours, reading a second book, not giving up if the book if tough and begging to play our “buzz” game. I hope that all of you have a wonderful summer and find new ways to make learning fun. Love, Mrs. Browe
