The Lowell Leopard was SPOTTED:
Lennie had an amazing week in grade one! He worked on place value and addition during our small group math workshop. In reading, he learned about reading smoothly with expression. He worked hard to practice some of our new glued sounds in Fundations. Lennie wrote about his collection of spots during writing. He helped us remember to socially distance while we line up.
