A few weeks ago before the snow storms Ms. Nadler read The Little Mermaid by Jerry Pinkey in library class, Pinkey's version of this fairy tale focuses on the power of friendship and the importance of using your voice. With the help of Lisa Cacciatore, a member of our wonderful tech team, 4th grade used 3D pens to make themselves into mermaids and mermen!
