We ended our week with a really cool presentation from Cruzin Critters! Look at all the animals we saw! We hope everyone has a great 3 day weekend, see you back on Tuesday!

We are so proud of our 3rd/4th graders who completed state testing this week! They were focused, took it seriously and worked hard! Great job phase 2! Due to students who still need to finish testing, there will be NO HOMEWORK for phase 2 students next week.

Phase One spent the week continuing their habitat unit. We also made cards to thank our wonderful parent volunteers. P5 has been observing their plants they planted and look at how much they have grown!
