We had a great week! The students completed their landform books and finished researching their countries. We used the laptops and iPads to complete our research. Everyone was very excited to use the iPads. We will do a Valentine’s Day party at the end of the day on Tuesday. If you child is bringing valentines or treats than please bring enough for everyone in the class.
