Here's what we've been up to!

We've been working hard on Phonics with our computer program called, Lexia. We got right to work after lunch on Wednesday.

Here are some of our friends enjoying the Book Nook an our comfy pillows!

Working hard on our laptops!

We are loving our first few days together! I can't wait to have 4 whole day together next week. Please remember that there is no school on Monday!
