The 4th and 5th graders tagged and released 15 Monarch butterflies on Friday and 8 more on Tuesday! We have a few chrysalides in each classroom, so we will have at least one more release day! Then it will be time to jar up the 65 lbs. of honey that Mr. Hockman harvested this past summer! It has been a busy and exciting beginning to our school year! It will be nice to visit with parents this week to share the growth we have been seeing in our students and what goals we have for each of them!
Picture Day is Thursday, September 25th
Autobiography Posters –
The 4th graders loved sharing their posters with each other and learned a lot about each other by presenting them! Thank you, parents, for supporting your children’s efforts!

I look forward to seeing you and visiting with you tonight or tomorrow moring during you scheduled conference time. Thank you for taking time to visit with the teacher and share your insights!
