Robert Crown Presentation

Today we took our Unit 6 Spelling test, and we also learned a bit more about simple and compound subjects and predicates.  Students have their new spelling words on their Friday packets.  AIMS reading scores from the first month of school and online textbook log-in codes were sent home in last Friday's packets.

We had an in-school field trip today from Robert Crown.  https://www.robertcrown.org
