Good
Evening Guardians and Students,
The first half-week of school was a total
success! I had so much fun getting to know each student! I loved watching the
students get to know each other as well. They worked on their first STEM
project together creating the tallest tower using index cards, completed a
lunch challenge everyday, learned class procedures, and some fun things we will
be learning in 4th grade! Below is some information about what they
will be doing this week!
