Ms. Gill's TERRIFIC Three's!

Dear Families, This year was the first time we got to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on its actual day the 17th!  The kids were excited and showed their spirit by dressing up in green!  I loved seeing most students and staff get into the spirit!  Check us out below :-) As a way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we made a folding surprise art piece.  The kids always enjoy doing these and revealing what's inside ;)  Hopefully you were able to see your child's completed sliding leprechaun when it came home on Wednesday.

Dear Families, Oh what a day!  Another glorious one filled with sunshine and smiles :-)  Your child and I are so happy to be in class making the most of our academic, social, and emotional learning!   It was a great week as we celebrated International Women's Day, a spirit jersey day, a virtual lesson by Wye Marsh, art inspired by Barbara Reid, and more structure building and researching with Mrs. Johnson.  Check it all out below :-) A friendly reminder that the clocks spring forward on Sunday!  I've forgotten in the past and that made for a speedy commute to school on a Monday morning (HAHA)! Anniversary of the Pandemic: Can you believe it's been a whole year since the pandemic began?  I would like to take this opportunity to reflect and think about how our lives have changed.   A year ago, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic marking the start of one of the most challenging chapters in modern health history....
