Important Announcements for the Week This is the spot for parents to look just in case I have something for the kids to be working on. 5th grade is a very important grade! The students will learn some pretty important things as they get ready for middle school. We will think about a GROWTH MIND SET which says, "this is hard, but I can do it. I made a mistake but I can learn from it." So hang on for the ride! Below are some pictures from last year. We will be joined in class this year by Boom-Boom the Leopard Gecko. His picture is below too. . More pictures coming soon!
