The fourth graders survived their first Math test! The faculty and administration at Trinity are still working on how to best score and record the students grades from last week’s assessment. Your patience is greatly appreciated!
I am reading the class The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes. Although it was written 70 years ago, it tells about the bullying of a young girl that students can certainly relate to today. This week, we will be writing essays comparing the fiction book to a non-fiction article for kids on bullying.
