Quarter One Winding Down

science: finish drawing

Only 1 week left in this first quarter--my how time flies. We are collecting gum for our test bucket (some research has shown that chewing gum during a test will help students perform better and relax more). I filled the bucket to start out but asked students if they get a chance to buy a bag and bring it in for class.

We are also gearing up for the can-a-thon to start on the first of November. In addition to the pride of helping out those in need, the class which collects the most will earn a pizza party. -Mr. C
