Here’s a little sneak peek of some of our classroom doors this week at Wandell! 📚✨ Our staff and students have transformed the building into the Land of Oz for Read Across America. Can you guess which grades they belong to or which staff members created them? 👀 #ReadAcrossAmerica #WandellSchool

What a fun way to end the week at Wandell! 📚🐾 Students loved reading with their very own therapy dog in each homeroom today. Smiles, great books, and some wonderful furry listeners made it the perfect way to wrap up week one of our Read Across America celebrations.
