🐾 We love that our Cougar Cubs are becoming such amazing citizens in our school, town, and beyond!
🐾 This week 4th grade has been busy showing what they have learned about Virginia's 5 Geographic Regions. They created landform maps to show Virginia's different landforms from flat land, rolling hills to mountains and valleys and plateaus! The smiles show the fun and learning that was had in room 210. (Check Facebook for more pictures! We can only post 10 here.)
