We are soooooooo excited for matter day. We can hardly contain ourselves.
Yes, we have studied matter and its properties. We have learned, examined,
discovered matter through experiments.
Your child should have brought home a study guide for our big cummulative
math test. When these come home, please go over each item of study. These
test are very hard and we need all the review possible.
Perents, if you need help this Christmas, you will need to contact the county
this Tuesday or Wednesday. You can call Ms. Armbruster for more information.
Remember, Early Release is coming up. We will dismiss 2 hours early on
10/21/09.

inkjet cartridges in a plastic sandwich bag to prevent them drying out.
