Thank You!

Hi, all!

Great news!  In just under 24 hours, our second project with Donors Choose was funded, which means we have an additional tablet coming to our classroom soon!  Ms. Beller and I are beyond thrilled, and the kids are so excited to start using these new learning tools. Elizabeth, Penny, Michael & Niamh, Lauren Beller, Heidi Ecklor, Robert Bruner, Ciera haynes-Brodowski; and, Andra Lurie, your support is truly a testament to all the wonderful people in our lives who care about enhancing the education of every child.  Words simply cannot express just how appreciative we all are of your kindness and generosity.  Our first tablet actually arrived Friday afternoon, and we cannot wait to see it action this upcoming week!  Also, if any of you know of some great apps we should download for the kids, please be sure to share. 

This past week we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day.  Your students had a blast learning about the many St. Patrick’s Day traditions as well as creating their rainbow mobiles.  We also had a visit from Lucky the leprechaun.  Apparently, Lucky snuck into our classroom one night.  He left shamrocks for the kids to color, a rainbow on the back door; and, Lucky also managed to somehow lose his gold.  Fortunately, we were able to help him find it!  Lucky was so grateful for our help that he decided to share his treasure with all of us.  He certainly proved to be a sweet, little leprechaun!

This week, we will begin a brand new unit called How We Organize Ourselves.  Your students will learn all about wants and needs and how our families and communities work together to satisfy them both.  Ms. Beller and I have some fun activities planned, and we are looking forward to sharing them with your students in the coming weeks.   

Again, thank you all so much for your support!  Have a fantastic week! 

Educationally Yours,

Ms. Bruner
