Elf Store Essential Question:   How can you decorate your paper elf on a budget of sixty-cents? 

The children had a wonderful time on December 5th as we conducted our Elf Holiday Shop.  In addition, to constructing creative elves, the students had the opportunity to practice money skills.  

 

 

Meeting a Famous Author!

Yesterday, we met author Matthew Tavares!  Thank you TESPTO for funding this wonderful and educational visit!  In class, the students have been learning about the steps of writing a narrative, and today they got to hear Matthew Tavares speak to the steps of writing a narrative.
