We had such a fabulous Monday! Today in science we talked about glaciers and how the erosion they cause is different from the erosion a stream causes. WE also learned about where our drinking water comes from. In Language Arts, we finished talking about the story, “Grandfather’s Journey” and we took a short quiz on it. It is time to select new choice hours for the second quarter! The forms are coming home today in your child’s mail. The packets are now online for you to view. Please return the sheet by Friday!
