Finals for 2nd Trimester














































Finals happen in many different ways. We often think of them as paper and pencil tests, but they can be debates, personal projects, classroom presentations, computer assessments, or even games of basketball. We have successfully finished our second trimester and we are very proud of our teachers and students. Congratulations to our school and our community and here comes trimeseter three!















Math Focus



I can use integers (positive and negative whole numbers) in a variety of situations.


English Focus


I can proofread and edit my writing and the writing of others.
