How lovely it was to meet the Grandparents and Special Friends of your children last Friday. The children were so happy to show their Grandparents and Special Friend's their work, classroom and school. I saw so many smiling faces in both the Grandparents, friends and students.
Today the students wrote a reflection about the day, which I plan on having them record on Voice Thread to add to their Second Grade Electronic Portfolio.
