April is Math Awareness Month! Look for a post that looks like this every school day in April. There is no right or wrong answer. The value comes in noticing similarities and differences and then explaining your thinking. There are some sentence starters to help the conversation flow. #proudcardinal

Each class made a flag or banner for our March is Reading Month closing assembly. A representative from each class explained the significance and meaning of their flag. #proudcardinal

We ended our March is Reading Month celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with our closing assembly. Watch our American Symbols musical. Thanks go out to veterans, Mr. Spivey and Mr. Jonik, for demonstrating how to fold a flag. Special thanks to the David W. Elliott Memorial Foundation for funding our March is Reading Month books, activities, and celebrations. https://youtu.be/KEFxPM6IqJw #proudcardinal
