The Week of October 19th

Room 21 Newsletter

I hope you are all enjoying the Fall weather! It was a beautiful weekend in Savannah, GA! We have been very busy in Room 21, studying different minerals and the weather. The students have enjoyed working on Moby Max in particular. If you have access to the internet, your student should be able to use this website from home. The link is located on the right side of this page and it is a great online learning tool. We have just been informed that Compass Learning will again be available to students this year. I will post more information about this as I get it.
