Greetings from New Haven, Connecticut!!!
We are a multiage class of 7, 8 and 9 year olds. We have a broad range of ethnic diversity right in our own classroom! We call our teachers by their first names and have them for two years in a row. We have enjoyed studying geography, rocks and minerals, and now the life cycles of butterflies and plants. New Haven is home to Yale University and the birthplace of President Bush. The four seasons are all very different. We love jumping into colorful leaf piles in the fall, building snowmen and skiing in the winter, watching the flowers bloom in the spring, and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean in the summer. We love hearing from you!
From,
Alisha's Class
