Congratulations to Conner, Laci, Ceci, and Gable for a perfect score on the Safe Online Surfing test. Third through Sixth grade classes participated which was a review of what we learned in computer class last semester. Some of the things we learned about were cyber bullying, password safety and how to be an upstander. The test is a creation of the FBI. They compare each school across the USA and rank the top ten for the month. We held the honor of 9th in the nation until a few schools pulled ahead of us on the last day.
First grade celebrating 100 days of school like it was 100 years ago. We counted 100 items and created charts during Math.
