Class Update - February 2

Hello everyone,

I hope you all have a good rest this weekend. We had short, amazing week with the kids going on the hill to skii and snowboard. Thank you to our parent volunteers for your help and support. The students did amazing! We also did our science experiment and crystals are growing in the classroom -some of them are taking the form of a "broccoli but blue." 😁

📢 DON'T FORGET: If you want to complete your artwork on Minecraft, bring your mouse!
