All the exciting things we are doing

Dear Parents,
I am very proud of all the accomplishments of our class so far this year. With your help we are making fantastic progress! We are now starting to concentrate on Science this six weeks and on here are a few of the exciting things we are doing. I would love to hear any ideas or feedback that you may have. Next week we will be doing some of the hands on activities that were listed on this weeks newsletter so please remember to send the students dressed for mess (LOL) on Wednesday. Thank you all again for your hard work and support, all of your effort is really making a difference.

Sincerely,
Erin Roth
