Hello!
Can you believe we'd already had three months of Kindergarten?! I swear it was just the first day! December 3rd will be our 57th day! Wow.
As we move into December, we will be starting our third math unit and will dive deeper into the reading process. I've already had a chance to read one-on-one with every student a few times and will continue to do so next week. Every student wants to be challenged and enjoys pushing themselves in order to become better readers. I love it!
