This week we will be beginning reading conferences using volunteer help. If you would like to help in the classroom we could use you any afternoon Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday beginning at 12:50 pm and Wednesdays beginning at 12:30 pm. This week we will also be taking a field trip to Centennial Village to experience a little slice of Colorado history in action. Furthermore, we will be studying light, particularly how it applies to optics, important individuals in Colorado history, and determining themes based on details in our text.
