Homework
Hi All - We want to celebrate Alexis' last day with us here in Room 210 and SES...it's been a short trip with her but we have all benefited and enjoyed getting to know her! She is a kind, inspiring, fun, smiling 7th grader who is off to another school in Beaverton...
I'd like to take our class off campus for lunch on Tuesday between 11:30-12:30....Students can bring along their sack lunch, buy lunch out or just a drink...the idea is to go off campus together, enjoy each other's company and hang out! So please send some lunch money with your child if you would like them to purchase food, otherwise, bring a sack lunch! Gracias...

1. All my people brainstorm - due Monday
-at least twenty groups of people you belong to: fun, silly, meaningful, hard/challenging, sad, happy....
