Attack of the Germs!

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

I’ve asked them not to, but germs are still entering our room and making our lives miserable! Your family might be able to help:

  1. Would you consider donating a bottle of hand sanitizer, the kind with a pump? We’ll place a bottle at each table for students to use as needed.
  2. Or for those runny noses, would you consider donating a box of Kleenex?

Many thanks to you in helping us fight germs!

Supplies Needed!

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Our class is looking for paper grocery bags and cardboard tubes for upcoming class projects. We just need 29 paper grocery bags, enough for each student. We will use these on Friday to make treasure maps.

The cardboard tubes can be any size, from toilet tissue, to paper towel, to wrapping paper tubes. We will cut these in half and use them to build ramps for a “ramps and rollers” experiment.

Thanks for any donations you can make! 

New Class Website!

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Last year, this site was our class blog, where daily information and homework assignments were posted. Coming soon, this site will be expanded to our full class website, with information for students and parents about anything and everything you ever wanted to know about Room 130. And it’s easy to get back here: just type in mrhowd.com.

So keep checking back often to see the latest changes!
