February 25-March 1, 2013

What a short month February is! We are going to be finishing up our studies on Asia, transportation, and the Solar System. We have had a lot of fun learning about these things. We will be moving from China onto India this week to learn about the culture.

Coming Up....

School closures due to weather: If the school is closed for a snow day please check local news websites and/or tpaak.org. If Poudre school district is closed our school will be closed as well.
