Field Trip

The third grade class had a great time on their field trip to Jester Park. Our tour guide, Nikki, did a great job of showing us the nature the park has to offer.  Here are some pictures of our day.

   

Reading/Language Arts

This week students completed the Unit 6 Benchmark test. Please look for the results in the take home folder being sent home next Tuesday. Students are also taking an end of the year spelling test.
