Black History Month Activities

We were very busy through out the month of February learning about many famous African Americans. Here are a few examples of some of our discoveries.

February showcase awards

Wow what a wonderful month we had this month. Our class collected a lot of individual as well as class awards during the show case.
For having the most students participate in the Read A Ton we won a class pizza party!!! How exciting!

Garden

Mrs. Bortz has been back at it again with helping us with our garden. What a wonderful job she and the students have done planting our spring garden. I hope we get some strawberries!
