6^th grade Life Science

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• It is very important that you come to school on time. By doing this, you are not only taking full advantage of the teacher’s instruction but you are not interrupting other’s learning process.
• The Seniors 2010-2011 are sponsoring the “ADOPT A PLANT” activity. Let’s support them by buying a plant for LPS. 250 and you will be helping the seniors, the school, and the environment. Contact Mr. Carlos Ferrera and/ or the Seniors
• Do not forget to dress up in green this Tuesday, November 9 to support the seniors’ activity “ADOPT A PLANT”
