This week we will continue working on kindness and random acts of kindness! We will continue to work on empathy and putting ourselves in other's shoes in order to put a smile on someone's face or to solve daily problems that may come up. As always we will look to put good into our world because we know that someone always needs it! Guided reading groups are going very well! Thank you for sending your kiddo's reading books back every day! This makes our group time so much more meaningful and productive! We are already growing so much in reading and I can't wait to keep going! This week we will begin our first day of Level 3 Observational/Comment writing.
