I wanted to give you an update on the Valentine Party date. The Valentine’s Party will take place on Monday, February 14th, from 2:20-3:15. Happy weekend to you!

It was a fantastic Friday in room 204! This morning we investigated how to produce sounds using a tuning fork. We explored with our sound group and made a video to teach others how to use a tuning fork. Look for our videos on the wiki. In the afternoon we learned how to upload our videos and take digital pictures for our moodle profile. Finally, we went to the media center for check out and then Spanish!
