Just a reminder that we are going skating tomorrow so bring your skates and helmets. Also, subway orders were sent home and orders must be back by December 5.

Solar system models

Our class is making a model of the solar system. The construction of the project will be done at school so we would like your child to have the materials in by Mon. Dec 3.  The solar system will include the 8 planets and the sun and pluto. The planets also have to be in the correct size ratio and order.
