Third and fourth grade students were given a book to read today for GT class. The book needs to be finished by Monday, May 18th. Third grade is reading Night of the Twisters and fourth grade is reading Bridge to Terabithia.
Students should also be working on achieving mastery of all their grade level skills on Khan Academy. I will be hosting lunch in my classroom again for those students who reach that goal. Lunch will be the week of May 26.
The next two weeks we will be busy finishing up Expo projects. Please be sure your child has everything they need.
Have a great weekend!
