April 8th-12th

Greetings families! We have had an eventful two weeks. First our field day, and then last week, our field trip to the zoo.  It was a lovely time and our scholars enjoyed seeing the animals and the aquarium. It was a wonderful trip to tie in all that we had learned from our science unit on habitats.  We had an excellent time.  Thank you to all who volunteered their time chaperoning.  Your help was appreciated.  

This week we settle down into normalcy and have a regular week of academics.
