Yesterday we had a great visit with Susie from Country Crossroads. She brought her Corgi Coco along and the students enjoyed. Susie talked to 7th-12th graders about how to talk to their friends when their friends are struggling and coping skills for their bad days. It was a great visit and Susie asked that I share the following information with parents as well.

Our 3rd-grade students have been having a blast learning about equivalent fractions. They did many different donut activities last week to learn all about equivalent fractions.
