The fifth graders enjoyed themselves a great deal at Launch this morning. They wished they could have spent the whole weekend there.
Next week is our final week of school and the graduation ceremony will be at 9 a.m. on Wednesday the 21st. Parents and families are invited to begin entering the Thompson building fifteen minutes before the ceremony commences.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

We dug into the details of the Battle of Bunker Hill this afternoon. The students looked at some paintings and maps of the battle and then also looked at some data tables about the number of soldiers on the battlefield. This was an interesting and productive lesson.
