Upper Elementary reading ‘Westing Game’

The Upper Elementary students are studying Asia for the next few weeks.

Here’s hoping you all had a restful and happy holiday break. Our gerbil, Rocky Leehonjie, had a great stay with one of our class families. We are kicking off the new year in Upper Elementary with lots of learning and fun!

Curriculum for January

I have included below the curriculum for this next six weeks. A parent already has brought in library books on these subjects. If there is a way you feel you could contribute, you are welcome to do so. Please email me with your ideas. Cooking and gardening help also is welcome!
