Good afternoon,<\/p>\n

We had a great time with our reading buddies from Ashley’s class last week, as we took the city bus to and from the NW Branch Library at Coddingtown. We each took out a realistic fiction book from the library to\n start our 40 book challenge.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the class did an amazing job hosting our first Village Friday. They formed 4 groups, wrote and performed skits about the US Constitution. They were hilarious while staying true to the constitution theme. Very\n impressive!<\/p>\n
