Sneak Peek at our “Best Part of Me” writing project from the book The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald. Can you guess what your child chose as the best part of them?
Boosterthon Fun Run! Thank you so much for helping us reach our school goal! We had a blast!
Students presented their final draft writing projects to Ms. Garman, Ms. Antoine, 2 Flagler interns, and my Mom (a former 3rd grade teacher) – Susan Joyner!
