Mid term progress reports will go home today.
Mrs. Keaschall's Team Time students had a lot of fun talking about "toothpaste" words today. Before discussing words that are hard to take back, they tried to get a tube of toothpaste put back into the tube. Just like hateful words, it's hard to put back!
