We found so much joy celebrating the holidays, friendship and community (and of course Owls). I missed a few photos of our Read the Day Away readers but a huge thank you to all who shared wonderful stories.

2nd graders chose just right books this week to read during reading group time or when they are finished with their work. Seeing children happily engaged with a book is one of my favorite teacher moments. We dove into academics with assessments, computer programs and our math and reading programs. They were up for the challenge, jumping in with curiosity and persistence.
