4th Grade Social Studies Presentation
Today, members of the Historical Society met with our 4th graders about events in history and how to utilize research strategies. There were engaging conversations and the premise of the visit was to prepare our students for History Day Projects, coming up in January!
Gingerbread STEAM Contest-DUE Tomorrow!
Positive Behavior Incentive for Students!
This past Thursday, students were able to enter a drawing to win a Maryland Terrapins flag! Just like last time with the Ravens Flag give away, you can enter as many times as you'd like by writing your first and last name on the back of a Dojo dollar and placing it in the blue basket during lunch. On Tuesday, December 21st we'll draw one winner for the flag and 12 other winners for fun, surprise packs (similar to last time)!
Good luck!!!
