Welcome back :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break and got lots of rest and relaxation! But now we are back and getting right into our work.

For Miss Harkins and Mrs. Lankfords homeroom,
Here is this weeks spelling city link!

Our words are: couldn't, wouldn't, who'll, they'll, might've, should've, here's, who's, aren't, hasn't. We are working with contractions, example: could not = couldn't and might have = might've.

Miss Correia's Class: Remember to visit Spellingcity.com and practice your words.

I hope everyone practices, it really will show on Friday's test!

Happy Monday - Miss Harkins

Good-bye Butterflies!

Over the past few weeks we have been studying the life cycle of The Painted Lady Butterfly. It has been an incredible experience watching the caterpillars grow, shed its skin several times, transform into a chrysalis, and emerge as a black and orange butterfly!
We released our butterflies to Mrs. Shannon’s butterfly garden right here on our Chets Creek campus. Unbelievable! Enjoy the slideshow!
