We wanted to extend a “thank you” for helping support us through this learning experience. We are excited to begin working on our summative activity. Students will be working on a super cool travel brochure to describe a continent. Encourage your child to research the continent that interests them! Information can be found on www.cobbdigitallibrary.com We can’t wait to see what our inquiring firsties come up with!
If you have any travel brochures at home that you can send in for an example, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
