TALENT ROUND-UP

On Thursday, May 24th at 7:00 p.m. Merrill Road Elementary School had it's annual Talent Round-Up Talent Show.  There were thirty-three acts which were all fabulous.  Nine little cowboys and cowgirls from our class played handbells in the show.

Tuna Boats

On Thursday, May 24th, students in our class made "Tuna Boats".  This was a recipe from We Love Our River! by Fran Peacock Coker.  After making their Tuna (or Chicken) Boats, students practiced their Functional Writing by writing out the steps needed to make this tasty snack.  You may want to try it at home!
