It was a very windy day at the school as evidenced by the document listing the names of the students blown around. The morning writing prompt asked students what their favorite thing to do in spring is and to explain. The daily warm-up involved a June Bugs reading passage and answering questions with clickers. Students also had homework in reading, math, spelling and religion.
