Welcome Back Everyone!

Its has been a great week getting to know my new class and the parents during our intakes! We are off to a great start and are beginning our inquiry question:   Identity: “How does understanding who you are help you understand the world around you and your peers?” We will begin a literature circle unit next week that will be stories about identity.  Students are asked to discuss with parents how they were given their name.
