Dear Parents,
The Native Culture Museum was a grand success! The students each presented their project and information to 4 classes of students. Students who were unable to complete a project at home were give help in class so everyone had something to present. Thank you for your continued support of your child!
On another note, we are getting low on snacks. If you can donate any type of crackers we would be thankful!
BUDDY TIME
Students are doing a wonderful job mentoring our first grade buddy class! This week they will continue helping the younger children write imaginative caterpillar stories from the point of view of the caterpillar.
CLASS PARTY
We had a wonderful fall party last week! Students brought in snacks. We also were happy to welcome Liz and JoAnn who volunteered in class to help with the celebration. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success!
