💙 Building Our Class Family! 💙

The beginning of the school year is all about building our classroom families! 💙 Our students are getting to know one another, making connections, and learning what it means to work together, support one another, and be a team. 🫶

Ms. Clifford’s class put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test with a fun challenge called Save Fred! 🛟🪱 Students had to work together, create a plan, communicate, and experiment to figure out how to save Fred—all while having a little fun along the way!

It’s amazing what a little teamwork can accomplish! 💙
