In Social Studies...
We will start our week learning about President's Day and different influential historical figures of the past. We will learn about George Washington, Alexander G. Bell, and Thomas Edison.

In Science...
Our chicks are here!! We will be incubating a dozen eggs in hopes of hatching happy and healthy chicks. We will be delivering them to the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm when we go on our spring field trip on March 9th.

Have a great week!
