We are O-FISH-ALLY counting down the last days of school with an ocean themed project. The children will be doing research about fish and will write an informational report  with me in class. In addition to the book, we are asking each student to create a model of a fish. This part of the assignment will be done at home. This model can be made from paper or other materials, and may be 2D or 3D.  Please send the completed model to school on Thursday, May 24th.

All families are invited to join us for a presentation of our sea creature models and informational reports on Friday, June 1st  at 2:30pm. This entire event will last one hour. Please sign in at the office and then come to our classroom.

We hope you will enjoy all of our hard work on our research projects and all our efforts to turn our classroom into an ocean!

Today a permission slip came home for the farm.  Please read the chaperone note carefully. Due to limited space, we are only able to take TWO parents with us. If you are interested in chaperoning, please fill out the form and send it back. On Friday, I will do a lottery and pick two slips out of a hat. Those two slips will be the parents selected to attend the field trip with us. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate any other parents on this trip.

The cost is $13 and the money and permission slip are due by this Friday, April 13th. Please be sure you turn in both, together in a baggie or an envelope labeled with your child’s name.

PBIS GAME DAY

This month our PBIS party will be all about games! Your child may choose to bring in a game from home or an electronic device to play on during the party. If your child does not have a game they want to bring to school, we have activities they may play with in class. If you do choose to send a game to school with your child, please label everything with your child’s name. Small items are easily lost, please think about what would be an appropriate game to send in with your child, as they will be responsible for whatever they choose to bring to school. Please send one game to school with your child on Thursday, March 29th.

Thank you!
