Highlights

In Math, we worked with tangram shapes to create different animals.  This helps build students’ spatial awareness.  In Social Studies, we have been talking about different jobs.  We learned that some people produce or sell goods, while others may work in the service industry.  We also learned that natural resources are things people use from nature.

Blue notices were sent home with students on Friday.  Please fill out and return the notice if your child will not be attending Panorama Hills School next year.  This will help us plan for next year.
