Week 7 - Tech Museum Field Trip on Friday

Here are some quick updates and news from Room 12:
-We will be having a science test this Tuesday in both the 4th and 5th Grades.
-I am sending home a parent letter this week via e-mail. Please let me know if you did not receive it, so we can add you to the class e-mail list.
-I am also sending home a book report project that will be due in one month.
-Our parents in Room 12 are the best! Thank you to the parents who have helped our class in numerous ways... Labeling books, organizing bookshelves, building bookshelves, donating cleaning supplies, money, books, and gift certificates, grading papers, making copies, assisting students with their assignments, proofreading, and in many other ways.
