Fill me in!

Dear Third Graders,
I miss you all! I am so glad I got to come see The Legend of 10 Suns. You all were incredible! I know you've been working hard at school. What is your favorite project right now? You can tell me about something you are working on in our class (like the Native American Study, fiction writing) or something in music, art, science or even PE! I want to know what you are excited about and why! I look forward to reading your posts!
Love,
Mrs. Kottler
