Spirit Day

The boys were very green on Friday in celebration of our class spirit week. Many thanks for your parental support in reminding the boys of their green attire and for your good humor as your boys arrived home with green hair :) Check out the boys enjoying their new "Think Green" spirit sign and our green and white cupcakes!

"Shipwrecked"

The boys are busy at work on their newest composition, "Shipwrecked". I thought I would share some interesting facts I have gleaned upon reading their stories. I can not wait for the boys to share their compositions aloud!
