The Week Ahead 1/21-1/24

There will be no school on Monday, 1/20 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

How the World Works
Next week we will be filming our natural disaster videos! A huge thanks to the parent volunteers who have signed up to film the students! We wouldn't be able to do this without your help. Most of the groups in our class will be filming on Tuesday, 1/21. Because we are using a green screen, students should not wear green on the day they are filming. 

Idiom of the week: fly off the handle
