Today we worked with a variety of Social Studies BAV words to help us understand the Constitution and why it's important.  Here you will see a picture or our brains in action.

The EL PTA Science Fair is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Parents are encouraged to attend the Open House on Wednesday morning, May 18,  from 7:45am-8:30am to view all of the wonderful science projects. This is different from previous years and will be the only viewing time for parents this year. We have many interesting projects to share.

This Friday we will be having our first classroom shop.Students will have the opportunity to buy goods from the classroom store. They may also sell items to the classroom store. Students will be allowed to bring SMALL knick naks and candy to sell to the classroom store.
