Mr. Kaht

Last Week Of School !!

Five days left and counting. Don't get stressed out over exams !!

Today we took our final exam and turned in the Animal Book Project. We have been working on the book for over a week. Tomorrow, a few students will complete the final exam and we will end the year with some fun life science topics.

Have science books ready to turn in on Wednesday. All books will be inspected for damage. Remember, these were brand new at the first of the year. Damages fees are set at 25% of the book replacement cost. If you have lost your book, the replacement cost of the Holt science book is $70.75.

Reminder- no bus notes will be signed in the office on Thursday or Friday. Also, have the movie permission note signed for Friday's movie. The form has been uploaded below. You can use this, see me for a copy, or have your parents write a note (this can be done in your agenda).

Enjoy the last week !!!
