๐Building Bridges Enrichment Club recently focused on the powerful words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As students learned about his lasting impact on our world and reflected on his iconic โI Have a Dreamโ speech, they took time to share some of their own BIG dreams.
From future leaders and innovators to helpers and creators, our students reminded us that the makers of tomorrow are sitting in our classrooms today. We are so proud of each one of them and the bright futures they are already imagining. โจ

Itโs been a little while since my last post, but Iโm excited to be back! ๐ Today Iโm sharing a link to the PowerPoint I created for our Literacy Night held last week. We missed you! ๐ฆ ๐
There was so much valuable information shared, and I completely understand how busy a parentโs schedule can be โ itโs not easy to make every event. โฐ
Because Iโm so passionate about reading, I wanted to make sure you didnโt miss out on this particular presentation. It includes simple, effective strategies for reading with your child โ whether theyโre young or older. ๐ถ๐
I hope youโll take a few minutes to look through it. Reading with your child is truly the key to helping them grow into confident, successful readers. ๐๐
