Today we researched the populations of countries that we have connections to, compared and ordered those populations, and then mapped our countries on a shared digital map. Great math period - thanks for the idea @mrs_edl

Curling up wth a good book on a Saturday night is the best way to unwind! 20 minutes of reading each night has big payoffs over time!

Today we kicked off our mystery / suspense writing unit with ‘The Legend of Thomas Alton’. One of the best periods I’ve ever experienced with a class! They were all so engaged, curious and collaborative. Is the story real or fake?! You decide! @AltonVillagePS #MysteryTrain
