THE QUILT IS HERE!!!

Please come by the classroom and take a look at our beautiful quilt.  Our class is very proud of it and we have absolutely no place in the school to hang it safely so I am storing it in our classroom.  Please come by and drool.  It is very special as is your child who made it beautiful!  Thank you and we'll look forward to seeing you at the auction!

Dr. Seuss Day

On Wednesday, we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday.  Please help us celebrate by sending books written by Dr. Seuss to school with your child.  Make sure his/her name is written on the inside so that we can send them the books home with your child.


Oh, and the most important part of the day is that we will have Dr. Seuss' Birthday be PAJAMA DAY too!  

THINGS WE NEED

We are in need of sandwich sized ziploc baggies.  They don't need to be a fancy brand.  



We also need some Clorox Antibacterial Wipes for wiping down tables, computers etc for our room. 


MANY, MANY THANKS!!!!

Science/Reports

In our class we will be doing experiments using a pulley.  I am looking in our shop for one to demonstrate how "simple machines"  help to make work easier.  Please keep in mind that the science fair is coming up quite quickly.  Please help your child complete his/her science project at home.  Looking ahead to April, we will be doing a Biography Report about an important person in history.  Keep looking to the Blog for more details about that in the coming weeks.
