Parents:
The
February Extra Credit Projects are coming in, and they look
AWESOME!
Thanks
to the many parents who helped in the February "Betsy Ross Flag
Making Project." 56% of the students participated. Flags
will be displayed soon in the halls of Mohawk House.
A
picture gallery will soon follow.

3rd marks the end of the 3rd Marking period interim. Interim Reports

and AT&T telephone calling cards.
2.
Create "Box Top Battles" for both the Revolutionary War and the
War of 1812.
3.
Closely examine the US Constitution to better understand how it protects
the liberties that the colonists fought for.
4.
We will take a snapshot look at our current president, and make
comparisons to prominent presidents of the past.
5.
You will sing songs, and be happy.
6.
Spring will arrive, and that will really make you want to stay inside and
study.
Mr.
V.
