Thank you to our Guest Readers! The students enjoy having their family member read to their classmates.
Today we had lots of Dearborn High School football team players come in for a visit. Many of them have been in my class when they were a Kindergartener and they love to be back in the room. “Every thing is so small in here!”
Anyway, 3 young men read to our class.
One of the players is Alex Moustafa, Maya’s big brother! I’m sorry that I didn’t get the names of the other 2 readers but here are their plans after next year’s graduation…
The young man on the far left wants to be a Marine Biologist. Alex wants to be an astronaut and the reader on the right wants to play for the NFL. It is so gratifying to see these people and hear of their future plans. Thank you to these players for giving up their class time to come and read to us and encourage READING!!

We will be building 2-D and 3-D shapes. Fun days in here.

SOCIAL STUDIES-I am finishing the Assessment on the students. All of them are doing exceedingly well.
On a personal note, I am so proud of these people. They are just blossoming into good students AND responsible, kind people. I truly enjoy every day with them and miss them on the weekends. They are my world.
Have a great weekend.
