What a busy last day before Spring Break!  We practised songs for the Voices of Nature concert in the gym in the morning.  Then, there were Speech Presentations after recess.  We started a new Social Studies project about mummification after the speeches.  Then after lunch we had watched a performance from an art group called Go Go Bonkers in the gym.

The Social Studies assignment about mummification is due on Thursday, April 3rd.  The majority of it needs to be completed during the break.  There will only be two class periods given after Spring Break to work on it.

Here is the information handed out about it:
