Thanks to Whitney lab for some fun hands-on learning!
Professor Zinnia gave us an excellent science presentation with an erupting volcano!
Thank you to Zinnia’s dad for being our Mystery Reader today! He just returned from San Francisco, Japan, and the Philippines! We enjoyed reading “The Secret Shortcut ” by Mark Teague. We loved discussing languages, surfing, the military, iguanas, etc! He has also volunteered to build our class some raised flower beds and Mrs. Fernandez is going to give us lessons on gardening! We are incredibly grateful! Keep your eye out for a sign-up genius to contribute!
