Highlights

Students received their spelling quizzes yesterday.  Please continue to review any words they did not know.

On Wednesday we watched some of the grade 4 students do an assembly about creativity.

We are working on 2-digit addition in math.  We also talked about how many sides and vertices different shapes have.
