Happy Sunday afternoon! I'm so proud of you for the care you took to get your testing done last week. I know that each of you will be glad when you see your scores to find out how much progress you have made since last spring. And I LOVED watching you fly kites! Skylar and I got some good pictures, so I'll let Ms. Amy post them on the school website and Facebook.
This week, we will finish Johnny Tremain as we continue our study of the Revolutionary War. This book just gets us to the first battle, and we are going to study this long war (from 1775-1783!) in just a couple of weeks.
