Overview

Happy Week Before Thanksgiving,

We are at the door of another break, and for that I am grateful. We are wrapping up our math and CKLA units this week on top of some other reviews. We are always working hard!

We will have our Roman Feast and Rome dress up day on Friday. Thank you for everyone who has signed up to bring items for that.

I hope everyone has a great, safe break next week. This year is going so fast!
