On Thursday, we had Teddy Bear Day to wrap up our Teddy Roosevelt unit. The students enjoyed bringing in their Teddy Bears (or any stuffed animal they had 😊) to share. The students made Teddy Bear transformations and graphed gummy bears!

On Friday, we went to the gym to see the "Dancing Drums" performance. This was an interactive experience, and EVERY child in the audience was given a chance to play an instrument, sing, or dance! So fun!
