Welcome back to school! We hope you had a restful Spring Break! Thank you to the students and families who attended the Student Led with Parent/Teacher Conferences. It was great to celebrate your hard work and achievement with your families.

We have been busy beginning our Science inquiry into evidence and investigation. Share with a family member what you think you know about evidence and investigation, and the questions you have. How can we find answers to these questions?
