November 12th-16th

This week we did a lot! We talked about expressing our opinion as citizens when we vote. We even had a voting booth in class and every students got to practice voting. We even used an electronic voting machine (computer). I think the kids really enjoyed this!

• Edmodo Reminder - As a parent, you are able to access what your child does and sees on Edmodo. All you need to do is have your child log on. On the right side of the screen, there is a parent code. This is what you will use to create your own account. Today we took a test through Edmodo. Your child's results and the questions can be viewed through their page or yours.
