The 4th and 5th graders tagged and released 7 Monarch butterflies on Friday! We saw that a few of them were still in our school butterfly garden on Saturday evening. We decided they didn’t want to miss the Fall Carnival where we had a great time playing games, having our faces painted, spending time with friends, and lots more! Thank you again to all who donated prizes and helped with our class game. Thank you, Mrs. Clancy for the extra time you put in and for donating such a wonderful supply of prizes! We plan on releasing at least a dozen more butterflies this week!
Special Reading/Writing Project
The 4th graders are excited to share their special autobiography posters – “Extra, Extra, Read All About Me.” The poster will serve as a book report/project and is due on Friday, September 12th.
