Our 3rd graders had a great experience in McFadden's Writing Boot Camp! We learned how to write complete sentences, to write complete paragraphs, and to use parts of speech properly. Here they are in their T shirts that we made to show we survived Boot Camp!

Mrs. Browning brought a book cart around filled with brand new books for all of our 3rd graders to select and add to their personal libraries. They were so excited! March is Reading Month Bingo winners got to select their books first.
