What We Learned
The students were very busy with end of quarter reviews and assessments in reading, spelling and phonological awareness, writing, and math. We're all looking forward to getting back to our learning next week. We are going to be starting several interesting projects in the coming weeks including an independent research project; an African American research project; weekly Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) lessions; and an informal Invention Convention.
We finished our pen pal letters this week. Please send a stamped, addressed envelope with your student to school next Tuesday and we will mail them.
Have a great weekend.
