Each day the students and I use Zoom video for a morning and grade level meeting. This is great way to connect. I love being able to see everyone! On Thursday, April 16^th we had Crazy Hair Day! It was so fun to see everyone’s crazy hair-dos. Each week we will try to have a new fun theme. Next Thursday, we will be having a Pajama Day,
