Welcome to our Room 22 blog, the Weekly Wonder. Ms. Juidi and I hope to have it published by the end of each week.  The purpose of this blog is to capture with photos and a few words some of the everyday work and play in which the children are engaged.  We've had a gentle start the first few days--much thinking about routines and working in partnerships and in larger groups. I'm including for your reference a copy of the general classroom weekly schedule showing the times children are away from the classroom with special teachers.  You can expect an end-of-weekend email from our Room Parents, Lori Lombardi and Christian Youngerman, who will be sharing in this communication of the events and volunteer opportunities coming up in First Grade and the classroom.  I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening for Back to School Night.
