Hello Hardy families,
Highlights from the past week:
*This past week during library classes, students spent time learning more about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and sharing their thoughts about his legacy. Some classes participated in a book share of Martin’s Big Words by Doreen Rappaport and then discussed Dr. King’s “big words” and “big ideas”. Students then shared their own “big words” (as inspired by Dr. King), and these “big words” were put on display in the library.
*On Friday, we had Pajama Day as students wore their favorite pajamas to school.
