Senior Infants and First Class were given a mission! Read about our mission below: First, we designed our boxes! We wrote letters to our future selves describing what we have been doing during these strange times! Our families helped us to create amazing art that shows who we lived with during this time! Finally, we filled our time capsules with artwork, masks, gloves and anything that we used during these weird times to help us! Thanks to parents and families for all of their help to make our time capsules!...
