The spring concert will feature pop songs for Young Men's Chorus, and we are preparing for \"The Wiz\" with scores you sent over as well.

For the first time, every student has a consistent place for notes, bell ringers, and Spanish activities. During a recent project, students created a \"Mi Familia\" booklet using family vocabulary—we used the binders to collect drafts, graphic organizers, and final pieces. Students were so proud to flip through their completed work and actually see their learning build page by page.

I believe this helped them form and secure bonds that they would not have achieved in a regular classroom setting. At the same time, they began to create their own crochet items.
