Today students became masters of their own words! Then they shared with other students as they went around the room collecting science words and definitions from their classmates and I. This coming week we will be writing a story using the words in context and taking a quiz over them.
Also students received their first grade print out. Please be on the lookout for those this evening.
And lastly, congratulations to the Football Wildcats for the AWESOME victory over the South Sumter Raiders!!! Go BLUE!
