Compton Target / Advanced Learning Program

The End is Near!

 

 

It's hard to believe it is May already!  We have had a busy year in Target learning all about convergent, divergent, & evaluative thinking, as well as the relationships and connections we have made in our content area units.

 

We have two more weeks of Target and we want to finish strong!  We will not have Target classes the last week of school due to Field Day, Awards Assemblies, and Early Dismissal.  We will have a small celebration on the last Target day of each grade level.  You are welcome to send in a snack for the class if you would like.  I will provide cookies and drinks.
