A few weeks ago Dr. Daniel Bright's 4th grade class went to Bisbee, Arizona! They toured the Cooper Queen Mine and explored Kartchner Caverns. We want to thank Low Income Student Aid, Inc. for assisting 6 DDB students with their fees to go on this field trip.

The Blah Blah Blah game Oak Creek School PTO purchased for Ms. Borden was a hit this week! Think Uno but with words, the kids are reading and breaking down words into individual sounds. This set of cards includes three levels of play allowing Ms. Borden to use it with many different groups of kids.
