Get to know your ECSD staff members and teachers out of the classroom! This week, EC San Diego staff and teachers played a “Question Game”, a game where each person is asked a series of random and fun questions about themselves. Questions range from inquiries about personal memories and experiences, to “what if” hypothetical questions that are fun to answer with imagination and creativity!
