Nothing beats a good book and great company! Mrs. Bonnelle, Mrs. Cole, and Mr. Lewis' classes had a fantastic time reading with their reading buddies ! 💕 #WeAreHoquiamSD
Mrs. Byron's classroom has a runaway gingerbread man! A report straight from the source, "Our mischievous friend has turned into quite the world traveler. Prior to winter break, we received reports of sightings from across the United States, and even as far as Russia! This week, the adventures continued as more letters and postcards arrived describing holiday break sightings throughout the country. The most exciting news came when Ms. Gannaway visited our classroom with special deliveries from Ghana, Africa, where our gingerbread friend was spotted! Our students were thrilled to receive authentic Ghanaian chocolate bars and beautiful bracelets, along with a message from a local resident who briefly encountered our elusive friend before he dashed away once again." This engaging activity has brought geography to life for our students. It's wonderful to see their excitement as they track our gingerbread man's journey around the globe!
