Happy Friday
What’s Happening in Room 27
Showcase is Monday!: Monday is Showcase Case. Students will be presenting during their specials time. Our specials are from 12:45-1:35. Please check in at the office (or with a volunteer at the door) and then head to art. You will spend part of the time in art and then go to media (which is in Room 19 on Monday). I will then pick the students up from there at the end of specials. The students have some fun things to share with you. :) Feel free to go down and check out the Book Fair in the Media Center while you are here. There will be a lot of great books.
