What a GREAT Week!

Dear Parents and Students,

I am writing this blog with a huge smile on my face!  I am extremely impressed with the Third Graders for presenting their Science Assignments so well on Thursday!  Thank you to all the parents who came.  It was great to have such a big audience.  I will post all the Third Graders’ PowerPoint presentation video recordings (thanks to Mr. Burt and Mr. Harris) as soon as they are done.   Please have a look.  There is no doubt that they are all stars!!!

Here are some pictures:
