Day #169 - 6/15/15 - "How to” Demonstrations

Good Morning Rebels, 

         Today is an ‘E’ day so we will go to Art.  This is also your last “full” Monday of elementary school! Can you believe it? There are only 9 days left this school year. Today we will see the first round of the “How to” demonstrations, and we will hopefully finish the documentary, Food, Inc. Please order your lunch, sharpen your pencils, and work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.

P2P: Please clean out your locker. Turn in any extra pencils, and then pick up a trivia card. Take turns asking and answering questions with people at your table.
