We celebrated the end of testing with a Mars Starbucks. Students spent the stars they earned for reaching testing goals. Thanks Mrs. Breetz, Mrs. Kougl, Katie Streett and @MissKazin for making this a memorable experience. Kelly O'Connell MarsEstates_BCPS #MarsStars #marsstarbucks

When I asked my scholars who they want their audience to be, they said the 5th graders in Mr. Holtry’s class! My students were proud of their work. #studentslearningfromstudents
