So Long September...Hellooooo October!!

From making friends and raising funds, to eating hot dogs with the WATCH DOGS...September was quite a busy month! I have loved getting to know each and every one of my new students. We have had a wonderful time building a sense of community and family in and out of the classroom. Learning together, having FUN, and respecting one another is what it's all about. Take a look at what we've been up to over the past few weeks.

First Day Fun!
