Good Morning!
Last week scholars enjoyed trying their hand at cuneiform writing as the Mesopotamians once did! Hopefully you got a sneak peek of this from the clay piece brought home by your child.
On Friday, instructions for our animal report were sent home. All the materials were provided and reports are due on Oct. 4th. Please let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing our scholars show what they know in this new way!
This Friday is Grandparents day and we hope that your child's grandparent can attend. Please visit the link below to RSVP your child's grandparent.
Have a wonderful week!
