SUMMER CAMPS

We are SO busy in the library. PreK AND K read books about BUBBLES AND MADE BUBBLES AND BUBBLE WANDS! Second grade is enjoying my favorite book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School. In 3rd and 4th grades we are reading and then watching Anne of Green Gables. In 5th grade, we finished their research project. I think they learned how to write a thesis statement. In the future, remind them to use “A and B about reasons 1,2, and 3” That will be a guide to writing their research paper. I am going to miss your children!

THERE WILL BE AN E. SHAVER BOOK FAIR FROM MAY 13-17. COME BUY SUMMER READING BOOKS!!!
