This was an amazing week! On Monday, we totaled up our books for Battle of the Books and passed our 1,000 book goal for our school! We enjoyed the spring weather and took our "word study" lessons outside to the hammock garden on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, teams competed in the team Battles, and many students from our class made it to the final round next week! We wrapped up the week with our class Candy Salad party.
