Gargoyle Boxes 7th grade

Students will need two plastic bags for their Gargoyle box project. Please send two plastic grocery size bags with your child Monday April, 10th. This is a change from the last week's agenda. The portfolio project went a little longer than expected and 7th grade needs to try and finish the clay project before M-step testing begins. We will begin the Illuminated Manuscript after we finish clay.
