Wow!  What a hot few days we’ve had in school.  We’ve all tried our best to keep cool, drink lots of water and stick to the shade. 

The children in Little Cypress have been observing how the mustard, cress and cat grass seeds that we planted a week ago have been growing.

The rain held off for our grand opening of Woodland Library at Cypress Upper on Wednesday.

This week we have been thinking about imitation and how we can use this skill to improve our thinking in different subject areas and considering who might be a good choice to imitate.
