We worked very hard this week!  All of our students that take spelling tests(first and second graders) scored 100%!! We were so excited!! Our kindergartners worked hard on learning the letter of the week and sight words, too.
  We also learned the difference between facts and opinions and the students wrote their opinions about what they feel is the best pet.  We worked on our writings all week and today we read them to the speech therapist.  I was so proud of all of them for being great speakers and listeners. These will be coming home next week as they are now on display in the hallway. Below are the pictures of them reading their opinions.
