Assembly
On Friday, March 6, several people
from SCARCE came to our school to talk with the first graders about the 3Rs – Reduce,
Reuse, & Recycle. They did a

have been made out of recycled materials.
Ask your child to tell you about it, if he/she didn’t do so already.

have been practicing reading these stories during Daily 5 centers.
