Science: In science this week, we will start to measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float.

Family Photos
If you have not had a chance to send in a family photo to your child's homeroom teacher, please do so by Friday, August 31st. When we come together as a classroom, we become a kind of family. In building our classroom families this year, we want to include your own families as they are an important part of who you are. If you do not have a printed copy of your family picture, you may email us a digital copy. Also, if you do not have one picture of your family, you may make a collage. Please let us know if you have any questions.
