Spring Break has come to an end &  we can't wait to see everyone tomorrow! 

5th graders in Mrs. Hink's class are studying King George the Third. She says:
"No taxation without representation candy simulation: my green table is my parliament (they don't pay taxes), I have 2 students going around collecting my skittle taxes. And everyone else is a colonist, and are being taxed by the teacher (King George the 3rd). This gives the students and ideas of what it was like to be a colonist and why they became so angry with King George and the meaning behind 'No taxation without representation'" 










Small group learning 💪💪 
Mrs. T's first grade WIN (what I need) group, listened and discussed the book, “Hidden Figures, the Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race.” To conclude, students drew colorful illustrations related to themes from the story. 📕
