Students were given an opportunity to show off their creativity and design a Camp Albemarle T-Shirt for our annual contest. A note went home on Friday with all the details.

Reading Update

Math Update

As we dive into our fraction unit, we are learning about how fractions and decimals go hand and hand. For example, 0.75 = 3/4 and 0.80 = 4/5. You can help at home by breaking everyday items into parts and labeling their amounts.
