Wow! What an amazing year. I can't believe it is already over and we are all heading off for summer break and then 7th grade! I will miss you guys dearly. Thank you guys for all the fun memories and the hours spent learning and applying our scientific knowledge. Best of luck in 7th grade! Make sure to check back periodically throughout the summer for for some fun science activities you can do over the break. I also supplied parents with 'Summer Rules' and also 100 different ideas to do over the break. Make sure you don't tell them you are bored :) Have a great summer!
