To lighten the mood for State Assessments this week, the teachers created a game to play against the students at Jumpstart all week. Mrs. Reinecke would give a one word clue and the teacher or student would have to sing a version of a song using that word. It was a lot of fun for everyone. Stay "tuned" for the final winner!
