Learning some 1920’s dance moves to wrap up our Roaring 20’s semester was “the bees knees.” Whether you danced or just watched, we had a “ducky” time.

Our Lit Workshop students finished 2 books this semester with a day left over. We ended our semester having a fabulous time doing art inspired by our last book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
