Weekend!

Dear Parents and Students,

We had a great day learning about our four different types of animals in our Ecocolumns. We learned that pill bugs have special organs similar to their aquatic relatives that helps them breathe in H2O. This little fact stirred up a debate that questions whether pill bugs have gills or lungs. Throughout this weekend, try to do some research to figure out the truth behind how our pill bugs breathe.

I will be posting the new spelling and vocabulary words by Saturday morning. So look out for them.

Our play went really well. All of the students did a superb job in reading with expression and using accurate props for the play. Our next play will be in four more weeks.

Please continue to bring in paper towel rolls.

Sell those raffle tickets, and don't forget to bring in box tops, and canned food for our food drive that will be taking place next week.

Everyone have a good weekend.
