Elementary School
Last week, the 5th/6th grade class took a field trip to the Huntington Library where students participated in a class called Paper, Pens & Prose: Discovering Early Manuscripts. The students were introduced to the way the first books were produced, how paper and inks were made, and what the scribes used to write with. The students also saw the Gutenberg Bible, which is the first substantial book printed in the West with movable metal type.
 
TK & Kindergarten
The class finished their book, "We're Going on a Bear Hunt."
We're so proud of all the students for working so hard!
