Started my Monday with my little “family!” We needed a name: thankful to the older kids who saw a first grader’s excitement to call us The Gorillas, and they just went with it (dragging me along too😂). 🎶 We are The Gorilla Family…🎶 #dg58pride #fa58share #3sVibes

This week we celebrated our writing with the “big kids!” A compliment from an older student really goes a long way. Many thanks to 6th grade for making time to hear our writing and provide positive feedback based on our leaning goals🎉#dg58pride #fa58share #3sVibes #dg58third
