VOLUNTEER
I wanted to share with you all our school Volunteer link in hopes you may volunteer this year!
We are in great needs for volunteers and I felt like that this would be the best way for us to get it out one other way.
READING LANGUAGE ARTS

We had a great week last week reviewing for the STAAR test. I am so proud of all of the kiddos and how hard they worked on the math and reading STAAR tests!
This week we will be looking at the elements of drama and diving into creative writing!! Fun Fun!
