Towards the end of this week, we had two special things happen in Room 4:
1) On Thursday, we walked to the baseball and soccer fields on campus. When we returned, the children voted on whether they liked the baseball field or the soccer field more. During our walk, we also stopped at the cafeteria for cups of water.
2) On Friday, we had an artist visit our classroom! To see more about what happened, check out our latest Facebook post:
