Wrapping Things Up

I can not believe that we are wrapping things up in fourth grade!!!

This week we are completing Ecosystems (test Friday), Hands on Equations (test Friday), Book Buddie Projects (presentations on Tuesday), and our Friendship Books.

We have had an amazing year and I am so grateful for the hard work of Team Jones!
