FROM THE LIBRARY
This week in grades 4 and 5 we talked about Graphic Novels. The 2020 Newbery Award for Excellence in Literature was awarded to a Graphic Novel for the first time in history. The book is New Kid, by Jerry Craft, an author that is actually scheduled to do a book tour event nearby on Friday, February 7 at 4PM at Buttonwood Books in Cohasset. This is a great opportunity for young readers, writers and artists to get up close and personal with an award winning author. The store's website lists the event as a book talk, so I would plan to arrive early to get seating.
MCAS Testing begins March 31!
Grades 3 & 4: March 31 & April 1

Math & Science
Grade 5: May 5 & 6, Math
