PEP Enrichment
Computer Lab Update
As the school year winds down, the computer lab is still going strong. The Kinder students have been working on learning how to tell time, and the first-graders worked hard on their place value project. Both the grade 2 and grade 3 students did fabulous jobs finishing up their PowerPoints and Pixie projects for last week's Open House, and the grade 3 students continue to practice their keyboarding skills, which they'll need to work on over the summer!
