Happy March, Families! Our scholars have been working hard in Third Grade. We recently had a writing celebration where the kiddos got a chance to share their research books with their peers. It was their first time using google slides in the classroom and, I can say, they had a blast! We truly are becoming the best readers, writers, mathematicians, historians, and scientists that we can be!
