Report cards went home today! Please make sure to check your child’s backpack for the white report card envelope.  After reading the report please sign and return the envelope only, as we will be reusing them for final reports in June.

Today we were artists and practiced exploring the art of chalk pastels. We created a background for our project on “The snowy day”.  We also finished up our Math stories and some of us have worked with a partner on uploading them into Iris. We will finish uploading our work tomorrow. Our stories were so great we just had to share them.
