14 Days to Go...May 29, 2018 Good Morning Tappan Families,
Happy Tuesday! It is hard to believe that we have only 14 days left of this school year. As we start to wind down I want to thank all of you for your support of not only your child, but also of our ELA classroom. It has been a true pleasure to come back to the classroom after a year in administration and have the opportunity to work with your children. As we wind down you will notice a slight decrease in out of class work. 6th graders will begin their Living Museum project prep tomorrow, and 7th graders will be working with both an in classroom escape room as well as two more greek myths. Please check planners for HW. Thank you and have a wonderful week. Cheers, Mrs. Lee [email protected] http://mrsleeaaps.weebly.com/ Dates to Know: EVERYDAY--BRING WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
