| Students are completing an opinion writing piece about whether or not 4th graders should go to Camp Waskowitz next year. Opinions should be supported by three main reasons, with vivid details and examples provided for each. Every student thought that fourth graders should go back next year, so it must have been a fabulous field trip! |
I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing mid-winter break with your children!
