Week of 4/3

Thank you to the parents who joined us for our Shedd Aquarium field trip! It was a great success, full of learning and fun. Thank you to Mr. Dimitriou, Mrs. Manganello, Mrs. Wawro, and Mrs. Free.  Check out our See Saw journal to see pictures of the trip. If you don't have a See Saw account, please email me and I can send you the directions. You can also view them on your child's Chromebook through their account.

*Social Studies: We will continue on part 2 of our Chicago packet as we focus on the industrial boom and growth of our great city. Quiz II will be announced and a study guide will be sent home several days before the quiz. Your child can fill out the study guide on their own and they can then use it for the quiz. They will not be able to use their packet or book on the quiz, only the completed study guides.
