Dear Parents and students,

This week your students have been a blast to work with.  They are highly creative engineers.  We had a blast trying to build heavy lift rockets.  As you can tell, they will need to build projects in this class.  So hopefully they don’t make too much of a mess at home.  Let me know if you need any assistance with supplies.  We do have some the school can share.

Here is our class schedule for the week:
