All About…ME! The sixth graders have been writing about a very interesting topic – THEMSELVES. They have written in a variety of styles while learning to use their vocabulary words and focus on verb tense and other important writing skills throughout this project. They also compiled all of their work into a commemorative scrapbook with decorative flair.

Move Fast & Have Fun! Sumba, Mambo & Salsa, not just a tasty garnish but a fun dance style that can really burn the calories, too. The

class has been trying out the Latin dance -fitness craze called Zumba. Zumba is Spanish slang for to “move fast and have fun”…and that’s what we’re doing! Muchas gracias to Dr. Ana MorosHanley, Jessica Milian and Ms. Sylvia for being such wonderful Zumba instructors. Thank you to Coach Cam for working Zumba into the PE schedule.
