    It is official! Both fifth grade classes voted to adopt an endangered 
    specie from WWF. The koala was selected by 5B, and the African wild dog
    was chosen by 5A. Each student will contributed $3 for the adoptions.
    If possible, I would like you to bring your contribution by Wednesday.

   SCIENCE - Continue working on your endangered specie books.
      Make sure each page has a picture to reflect the topic.

      You have been taught how to make the table of contents. This is
      done last after you have downloaded all your pictures and have 
      very carefully edited your pages. Use your checklist to put all the
      pages in the correct order. Then when you type the table of contents,
      all the pages will be in the correct sequence.

      If you don't want to print a second copy, you can go to
      the library or Staples and make a copy of your book.
