Hello, friends! I miss seeing your smiling faces! I hope this finds all of you well and excited to embark on our e-Learning adventure! I chose the theme of dogs for this week because I’ve been spending a lot of time with my dog, Frankie. We’ve been going on long walks every day, playing fetch in the front yard and reading stories. She is one happy puppy! If you have a pet or a favorite stuffed animal and you’ve been spending extra time with them this week, feel free to send me a picture of you and your pet reading together or playing together! Draw a picture or tell me about your adventures together! Have a wonderful week!
