- Swimming Monday

Thursday

What an amazing band concert today!!! If you have a chance to see it tonight I highly suggest going. It starts at 7pm. Not much homework (since we are winding down)
- home reading
- Mathletics (bring in $5 if you would like to be signed up for the summer)
- swimming form with $1.25

Have a great night.

Items for next year

I just thought that I would post this while I am thinking of things now. Throughout the summer if you see any of these things during your travels (garage sales or have them at home and are looking to get rid of them) our class would greatly appreciate them. If you can donate them could you please post a response on here so that others know as well, or let me know and I can update the list.

- boggle game
- scrabble game
- old blender or food processor (I want to do some paper making next year. The blades don't need to be sharp, it just has to blend wet paper)
- set of mixing bowls
- cookie sheets
- mixing spoons, spatulas, etc.
- hand blender

I figured many sets of eyes on the lookout are better than just mine!
