4th grade wrapped up their living things unit by trying their hand at gardening! Each student took home a plant they had grown from a seed. π±




Mrs. Craft's class ended a year of learning & growing together with a family dinner. A time to sit with peers, share a meal, share their proudest moments from the year, and continue to build the relationships they've been working on in the daily morning meetings.
