Good Afternoon!
We hope everyone had a restful, but very snowy, weekend! We are getting down to the final few days before break! This is going to be a busy week and our schedules will be slightly different but with our 4th graders super great focus and great behavior it should run smoothly :) This week would be a great week to make sure a water bottle and snack are packed each day!

We will have school next week on Monday (full day) and Tuesday (dismissal at noon).

Time will also be given after break to work on the project. Students should be going to the library to check out books for their research, we will have computers available but not enough for everyone so books would be the second option!
