If we were in school, the Fourth Graders would be planting the Roycemore garden, but even in remote learning they can still plant and see the seeds sprout.

One of the Junior Kindergarteners set up JK in his bedroom, and his father was Mr. Linkhart.

Third Graders, for their independent reading, created a project and then presented it on Flipgrid for classmates to comment on. They made board games, mystery boxes, trailers for movies, wrote scripts, did dioramas, and many more.
