- Bathing suits are ALLOWED but t-shirts must still be worn.

Language Arts and Social Studies
Next week in language arts will be our last week learning about pronouns. We will review all the types of pronouns and when to use them.In social studies next week, we will be discussing the relevant and different skills you may need to perform a job successfully.
