Hey all, we have a lot of important events coming up. As you guys know, we will begin testing next Wednesday, March 2nd-March 7th. Make-ups will be on Tuesday, March 8th. We also are still in the process of rescheduling our field trip. The cost is the same but you will get a new field trip form. I will let you know when these go home.
This week are studying:
Reading: Smokejumpers. I have my brother, who is a Knoxville Firefighter, coming in on Wednesday to talk to the class. I think the kids are really excited. Make sure to ask them how the presentation goes.
