DISSECTION MOVED TO TUESDAY 5-31

Hey, we will be dissecting frogs next week in Mrs. Menz's room.
I have had a few kids volunteer to bring in gloves to make the dissection more pleasant.
If you are against dissection, you will have an alternate assignment but you will need to let me know by Friday 5-27-11.
