Week 13

Welcome back to school!  It was a very busy first week back.  The 4th and 5th graders began writing about their vacations.  Third graders started to get back into their study of South America.  Kindergartners and 1st graders began writing "how to's" to explain how we made our adorable smiling snowmen.  Stop by the ENL room to see them proudly displayed in the hallway!
