What a Fabulous Friday!

What a fantabulous Friday! We have the hardest and most cooperative workers in our class. This morning we worked hard in social studies reviewing for our regions/geography quiz on Wednesday. Students are coming home with a completed review today as a study guide. The students and I completed this together as a class. Knowing this information will ensure success on the quiz! Spend a few minutes each day studying. In the afternoon, we worked with our buddy and set up our student portfolio pages. It was such a productive week…go TEAM BUTZIN! Enjoy the weekend with your family.
