Our day was outstanding! This morning we watched a segment of a video portraying one of Dr. Martin Luther King’s speeches on the wiki. We had a discussion on the wiki with our classmates about the importance of Dr. King’s leadership. Ask your child to share it with you tonight! In the afternoon, we shared our artifacts with the class.

I will be at a District Training session all day tomorrow.   My meeting is in the building if anyone needs to reach me.

We are reading to Waikiki! Ask your child to share the details of this awesome opportunity with you tonight. The letter will explain all of the important information.
