What's Happening In the Fifth Grade......
Let's go to the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History!
Fifth grade is planning to go to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History on Wednesday, December 9th. We will be viewing the IMAX movie Forces of Nature, along with attending the current exhibits. The featured exhibit, THINK, is created and developed by IBM and is designed to showcase how technology and innovation have transformed the world.
Remember to send a disposable lunch with your child. Please do not send lunch boxes or anything that would need to be returned. We will be taking ice chests to store lunches, but they will not have ice in them. Plan accordingly when planning out food options. Please make sure that your child wears his/her gray CES shirt or a shirt that is gray.
