The writing process is tough for students to learn, but what a great way to help students visual all the different parts to include!
3rd graders have been working hard during their Bookworm lessons and their final writing project on the BFG!
Gimkit is a fun computer game that our students use….but with a lot of skill work involved!
The results are in and Hillcrest was the top school in Alma raising almost $1000 for the Hope House! United Way is matching all the money that was raised so ours will account for almost $2000!!
Congratulations to Mrs. Wickes' class for being our top-earning class with $258.05.
