Third Grade Music Performance

Now, the end of the school year is upon us and we have many celebrations and events.  Students are also finishing many projects and preparing for tests and quizzes.  During this time of year, it is important that students are at school each and every day.  We want to make sure they complete all of their work before our summer break. We will be going strong until June 16th.

Here are some photos from last week's music performance. 

We Had Fun Learning About Animals at the Zoo!

Old buildings were designed with atriums and numerous windows to let in daylight. 

Brick walls were strategically made to hold weight. Our guide showed students how this was done by comparing the wall and Lego bricks.
