It’s great to see that the snow is finally melting and hopefully we can get outside to the playground in the coming weeks!
The scores on the recent Science and Social Studies exams were great, thanks to the cooperation of families at home who are helping their children to develop good study skills!
This week we will be catching up on our ELA Unit 19 so we will focus on new Grammar and Reading but there will not be a Spelling list.
