The new year is off to a good start in 4th grade!  The students are very excited to spend some of their hard-earned classroom economy cash at our class store this week and apply for new jobs.  I hope you enjoyed the photos from the recent celebrations.  The students enjoyed our New Year's celebration on Friday with games, treats, and making New Year's FUNglasses!  Thanks to all the parents who contributed to our celebrations. :-)
