What it looked like three years ago is not quite the same as it looks now, but we all have gotten pretty adept at pandemic adjustments, haven’t we?  The joy in our classroom is palpable.  The thankful hearts of these dear children bless me every single day, as they celebrate all the things we CAN do because WE ARE TOGETHER!

So we thank Mrs. Crane for volunteering to be our first cozy fireplace reader of this winter.  We are fine-tuning our expression and reading fluency by observing a whole collection of excellent oral readers.  We enjoyed The Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis and Gwen Millward so much.
