Our week has been full of Social Studies and Wonders writing.  It has been full of display and book creation.  It has also been full of math testing – but that is done for the year.  I am proud of our class for their hard work and sustained effort.  The directions were multilayered and a bit less than transparent.

To get you ready for next week’s Parade of the States, here are some state fun facts the class thinks you would like to know.  Make sure you read their displays and books to learn more.  They will be on display in the cafeteria prior to the recorder concert and after while we get the parade ready.
