Welcome Back!

Dear Division 8,

Welcome back to our class blog! I’m so glad that I got a chance to speak to you and your parents last week. I heard some great stories and some great jokes!

I also understand that many of you miss your friends, playgrounds, extended families and school. It’s sometimes hard to be away from so many special people and activities right now but we still have so many things to be thankful for…

For example:

                         I’m thankful for board games especially Trouble.

                        I’m thankful for sunny days to go for a walk outside.

                         I’m thankful for syrup that make my pancakes taste just right!

                         I’m thankful for music so that I can practice my butterfly dance move!

                        I’m thankful for my students who have the best jokes to make me laugh.

I challenge YOU to come up with 3-5 ideas that you are thankful for and share it on our class blog!
