Big buddies and little buddies love spending time together!

This week's assembly honored Martin Luther King, Jr.

The 4/5s also learned about Dr King while reading
Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr.? and through thoughful, discussion.

Students enjoyed writing fun, collaborative stories, also known as
Folded Stories. A Folded Story is a story created by a group of people
who do not know what the whole story contains. Different students write
different sentences only knowing what the classmate before them wrote.
Folding the paper and passing it along when they are done, keeping the whole story a secret until the very end.
