Moon diaries were handed out in science class and should be in students' Homework tab of their take home binders, but you can print a new copy from the link below if needed.

Math Unit 5
Valentine's Day Party - Bring in a Shoebox!
If students choose to bring valentines, we ask that they bring one for all students in their homeroom. See the link below for a list of names of students in each class.
During the party, students will decorate shoeboxes to hold their valentines. Please send in a shoebox with your child's name on it between now and the day of the party. If you are able to send any extra shoeboxes you have, it would be greatly appreciated!
