Good Morning!

*Student Acknowledgments: who wants to share their acknowledgement first?!

*Today we will head down to the library to choose a silent reading book (Indigenous authors please), learn about what the library has to offer (maker space, online resources, etc.), and much more!

Once the books are chosen, we should have some time to enjoy our new books.
