A Great Big Thank-You to Pia's Mom for getting our class a new Pencil Sharpener! You saved the day, and we appreciate you!

Our Food Drive is going fantastic.  Our box is overflowing, just like we wanted it to.  Please continue to send items in.

Math: We will test on Chapter 6 this Tuesday.  A review sheet will come home for homework Monday night.  Please check your child's work to make sure he or she is comfortable with everything.

We have been having too much fun in Science with Balancing and Weighing.  Every child enjoyed making mobiles Friday.  I will post a slideshow of their hard work.  I hope the mobiles make it home in one piece.  They are a little delicate.  We hung them in the room to enjoy, but they will come home this week.  We have many more fun activities to do with this Unit.

I am still hoping to have more parents volunteer to come in and share during our study on the Presidents next month.  We are so easy to please, I promise you can't go wrong with us!

Please email me with any questions or concerns, and have a SUPER week!
