Late Homework

Parents and Students,
This is just a reminder that I do not take late homework after the following Tuesday that homework is due.  If homework is handed in on Monday or Tuesday for the previous week,  I will still give you partial credit, but anything after that I will not take.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email me. 
Thanks,
Ms. Beckstead

ART PROJECT T-SHIRTS AND MASON JARS

Parents and Students,
We were planning on doing our bubble art project on Friday afternoon, but looking at the weather, it looks like there is a chance of rain.  This art project is an outside project so we are doing it on Thursday (tomorrow).  We are going to be using food coloring mixed with bubble solution, so things will get messy.  Please bring an old t-shirt that can get stained to wear over your school uniform. 
Also, if you have any Mason Jars, with lids, that you no longer need, I would love to take them off of your hands. 
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me.  Thanks!!

Art Project

Parents,
We might be doing an art project tomorrow that is dangerous to clothing.  We will be using food coloring and that stains clothing.  Please send an old t-shirt to use as an art smock so there is some type of clothing protection.  There is a chance that we will not get to our art project so students will keep the t-shirt here to use next week.
