Our First Day of School--August 31, 2009

Welcome back to school!
Our first day went very smoothly and quickly! In our Science classes students received their Mixtures and Solutions books as well as their notebooks. If you purchased a notebook for Science, I told the students to store them in their locker spaces until we start our next unit. We will use it for Landforms and Models and Designs. Thank you for returning the beginning of the year forms. If you haven't already done so, please return them by Friday, September 4.
Have a great night!

Welcome Back to School!
