In the short time we have been together, I have witnessed a fine group of eager learners who are doing a great job of learning the routines of our classroom and schedule. They are also building friendships within our class and doing such a nice job of working together in a safe way! When asked what was their favorite part of the first week of school, the most common response was that they could see their classmates and friends! 
Finally, we are all learning to maneuver through our school days with masks again. I notice that we quickly forget that we are wearing them and it has not impacted our days as much as we thought it might. Also, thank you for sending along additional spare masks with your child. Sneezes happen, and a fresh mask to change into is such a nice and comfortable thing.
I am so very proud of these kids and am excited to get to know, and grow, with our fourth grade class family!
