Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year: Classroom Updates for Grades 3-5

Welcome to the new school year! In grades 3-5, we focus on individualized instruction in math and reading.

Weekly spelling tests and language arts activities strengthen student skills. Classroom expectations emphasize friendship and cooperation. Monthly community outings and support from paraprofessionals ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
