Room 21 has buddied up with the lovely Room 16 for reading. The two classes will come together to read and learn every day. Today we had our very first session. Look at those beautiful faces!
Lastly, today is the Chinese New Years Day. 2021 is the year of the Ox. Ox are reliable, strong, fair, patient, kind, calm, diligent, and trustworthy. Wish all our children have a year full of joy and harvest.
