A thought for this week- the power of read-alouds via the Teacher Next Door!

We are so lucky to have had Mrs. Cole with us these last few weeks! She has shown us engaging centers activities, taught us unique and creative ways to blend words, and shared many successes with us. We will miss her visits each week! 💖 Thank you Talysa Cole #mahwahconnects
