Happy Constitution Day! I missed the kids so much yesterday! While I did learn a lot, it was hard to be away! This morning we learned about the importance of our Constitution. This afternoon we met with Mr. Whitmer and experimented with a program called “Audacity.” Ask your child about it! We will be using it a lot in our upcoming science unit on Sound!!! If you want to play with it, you can download it for free online! We also started bucket filling today. Ask your child to share the details of this with you. Have a great weekend…
