Wow, what a an EXCELLENT week!

Wow, it is Friday, again.  One of my favorite parts of the week was being able to talk to so many parents; thank you all for coming in!  Today we had a wonderful Internet Safety presentation!  It was very informative and the kids really enjoyed it.

This morning we began with writing, finishing small moments, and then we had the Internet Safety assembly.  Afterwards, we had a short discussion about the assembly until Engineering Technology.

After lunch, we heard a few kids share stories and then we went to the Media Center.  Then, we read Time For Kids and worked on a comprehension activity.  After planners, we ended our day with math.

One of our weekly jobs is "Techie" and one of our "Techies" made this video of our week:


I hope you all have a great weekend!
