January In Learnington

Welcome to 2012!  We are so happy to be back together again after a relaxing winter break.  After making our '2012 Learning Resolutions', we are now  ready to get back to our busy days of growing and learning together as a community of readers, writers, and mathematicians.  The third quarter brings a deep study of informational text in both reading and writing, as well as a look at Great Georgians Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jackie Robinson, and a study of Motion and Celestial Bodies.  We hope you follow our learning journey and visit our blog (and Learnington!) often.

 Murdock Elementary School Vision Statement
