Today was a thrilling Thursday in room 204! This morning we continued our hard work on our memoirs. Tomorrow will be our last day in class to work on them. If your child does not finish in class tomorrow, it will be coming home for homework! This afternoon we went to the science lab to talk about the experiment we will be doing tomorrow. We will be simulating rain! We also read an interesting article about how people use and conserve rain water. Ask your child about the many ways that people have found to conserve our water!
