Oct 27-31 Happy Halloween

This Week:

Science projects are due on Thursday.  Your child may choose to share a volcano, land form, or poster.  He or she could also write a report on earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering and erosion, or compare and contrast.  I am very flexible.  I am hoping students can share their learning and be creative.
