Pearls of Wisdom

Our Pearls of Wisdom ceremony had to happen virtually this time.  I’m so proud of the hard work you have done over Quarter 2, and in the first few weeks of our Virtual Learning Initiative. In fact,  everyone received the VIRTUAL LEARNING INITIATIVE pearl this quarter. (I just forgot to put it on 5B’s video.)

Below you can scroll through the slide shows, which include the awards for February’s Reading Marathon.

Click on the links for the videos I made for each class.
