First Day of School! August 13th

Welcome back. It is hard to believe we are already starting a new school year. And now you are in 8th grade! Just think - this time next year you will be in High School! Enjoy every minute of this year. It will be gone before you know it.

Today, we started the year with a fun and yummy activity on probability. Click below for the M&M's Probability Activity. Have a great evening!
