February is almost over but the learning of people that came before us keeps going. Students and parents have worked hard on biographies of people that paved the way. We will continue to talk about important African Americans that changed the world throughout the rest of the year. Our students need to know they can change the world at the age of 5/6 or at 100. They can make a difference in the world. March 1 starts our Read-A-Thon. Please click the link to register your child. We will provide some time during class to read but it is important that your child is reading each night at home. https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/fgbxHr. Please remember to fill out the survey about Hybrid learning or Virtual learning. The survey needs to be completed by Sunday, Feb. 28th. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Reopen_PGCPS_English Thank you again for all the support and help with our daily class time. Parents...you really are rockstars!!!!
