Badges & Achievement Day!

Hello students & parents!

This year, the students will be working towards getting BADGES on Edmodo to encourage a successful and enjoyable year. The badges will be awarded on Edmodo and at the end of each month, our class will celebrate ACHIEVEMENT DAY. Achievement Day will be a celebration of the badges earned by receiving free time.
