Week of 9/17-9/21

Odds and Ends:

* Scholastic Book Order: Remember your book order is due on Fri. 9/21 online or checks and order forms turned into the classroom. Online orders help our classroom earn free books! Thank you!

* Science textbook online: Our science textbook is now available online. Attached to my weekly blog email were directions on how to access the textbook online. Please email me if you are having any troubles viewing the textbook and logging on. This is a great resource to use when reviewing lessons and studying for a test.
