HAPPY SOLAR ECLIPSE DAY!! (8/21/17)

We had a great day of fun and learning all about the solar eclipse. Everyone kept their 

glasses on as they looked up at the sun. Your student has brought home their work. They 

also have a reflection to share with you about their feelings during the eclipse today. 

Reminder: the Narrative On-Demand is tomorrow. Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon 4C Families,

This is the final 4C Update for the school year, and for the next two years. It will be changing to 3C. I am so happy to have had each one of your children in my class this year. I appreciate all the love and support you have given us this year. The cards and thoughtful gifts are so heartfelt and personal. Thank you. (You all will receive individual thank you's in the mail soon.) 

I have attached the final picture of the kiddos. Have a great summer!
