Dear Parents,

      
     Last week we started our Beach Buck system. So far it seems to be a hit and some of the students really love getting paid for their jobs. I want to say thank you to those parents who have donated to the class store. I am truly grateful! If anyone else would like to donate we will need some bigger items for the end of the year auction. I would also like to say a big thank you to any parents who have donated snack or time to the classroom this year. It really means a lot!

Dear Parents,
   

     Thankfully the rain held off on Friday and we got to have a wonderful field trip. We all wished we could have had a few more hours to see the monkeys and the reptile house. Thankfully we got a glimpse of a gorilla eating in the new exhibit. And I think quite a few children found a new favorite bird the shoebill stork. 

And...

Easter

*Please note that one of the titles does have another name for a donkey. It is towards the bottom of the list. This is a great resource for your child to read fables. Always monitor what your child is reading on the website if you do not want them to be exposed to this form of the word.*
