LEAP DAY: Once every four years, our 365-day rotation around the sun becomes 366. This year is a leap year, meaning we add one day to the end of February. Since leap year happens every four years, our last leap days were in 2020 and 2016, and the next leap year will happen in 2028!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Students in Mrs. Dvorsky's class learned about poet, Amanda Gorman during speech/language sessions for Black History Month. Students made personal connections to her, as they learned that she had difficulty with articulation of /r/ sounds throughout her life, one of the most common goals her students have! They read biographic information on her, watched videos of her performing her poem “The Hill We Climb” at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, and read her picture book “Change Sings”. Students made their own murals for change after reading the book. I attached some pictures that I captured during some sessions!
