The month of December will be exciting as we continue to immerse ourselves into how books work by discussing the main theme and elements of the stories we read. We also will be sharing Personal Narratives at our first publishing party. We are so proud of these pieces and hope you can join in our excitement.

This season also brings many opportunities in Room 1 for families to come in and share their cultural celebrations. Room 1 is unique in the represenatation of countries around the world and we welcome learning about them.
