Science: Rough Draft of Report

Wow! USA Today

I applied to USA Today to have online newspapers for our sixth grade students. USA Today received a grant, and we were accepted as one of the schools to receive online versions of the newspaper. Every sixth grader and parents may go online and read the newspaper! Very Exciting!

I will have a link on the blog so you may access the paper. Students will get the passwords in class.

Good Luck and Have Fun reading an article with your child.
