UPCOMING EVENTS

A "Picture Perfect" Year - Ms. Pascuzzi's Fourth Grade Class

Counting down the days!

As the year draws to a close, students get introspective. Ms. Pascuzzi's fourth graders thought about the amazing year they had, and everything they still have to look forward to. After delving deep into their memories and brainstorming events, the students wrote personal narratives. Each page of these booklets shows the writing process from conception to publication. Adorning the board are photographs taken in the class throughout the year. This fun and reflective display can be found outside room 223.
