Walk on the Wild Side
It's an exciting week ahead as the students bring in the 3D animal projects they have been working on at home! Thank you all for helping with your child's creation! At school the students have been working hard researching and putting together beautiful books full of their findings! We are very excited to show off the 3D models and all that the students have learned about their animals over the past month and a half at Walk on the Wild Side. Families are invited to tour all of the third grade classes on Thursday, April 21 from 10:30 - 11:30.
