We had fun working with our little buddies today. We helped them make fruit pictures out of tissue paper for their healthy eating unit. The Science Fair is tomorrow. If you would like to come and view the projects the best time (when it looks like the fewest classes have signed up for a viewing) would be between 10:30 and 12:00. You can come between 1:00 and 2:30 as well if that time works for you. All projects will be taken home at the end of the day.
