April 7th – April 11th
Last week we had an assembly about animals (snakes, scorpions, chinchillas, etc.). Everyone enjoyed learning about these amazing animals. I was proud of how well the class did on their adverb and adjective test. If your child has not turned in their “Egypt Unwrapped!” money, please do so before Tuesday, April 8th.
