This Week's Update: Progress Reports Today!

Thank you to Eileen, Cam, and KK for writing today's update. One important note: Progress Reports are going home. However, this probably isn't a good representation of "halfway" through the quarter. I will be adding several grades to PowerSchool this weekend and next week, as we have both Science and S.S. tests next week. -Mr. H

Week in Review

In reading we did a lot of vocabulary. We used a new app called Notability. We used some bouncy balls to do an experiment in science. It was a lot of fun! We hunted some whales in social studies like the Makah. We took a test to see if we will make the spelling bee. We couldn't tell enough stories about each word. In math we watched a rap. It was by Mr. C, who makes videos on math and science.

Congratulations

Grace F. and Matthew for being Wednesday's and Thursday's Excellent Editers.
