Mrs. Massey’s class did an outstanding job with our morning announcements! Mrs. Pratt’’s 2nd grade class will assist this week.
Mrs. K. is continuing career/interest inventories with 4th graders and in 3rd grade, introduced the next unit, “100% Accountable” of the “7 Mindsets” curriculum.

Here is a list of books that correlate to each mindset!
