On Thursday of this week, we will have our 100th day of school.  Please help us celebrate by sending with your child a sandwich sized bag of 100 things.  Please wait to send the items until Wednesday.  Also, if every child would please bring an ORANGE to school, we will be estimating and counting how many oranges it will take to make 100 sections.  The day will be jam-packed with 100's day FUN!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

SCIENCE

During our science time at school we will be discussing the Scientific Method for our experiments.  We will first ask a question, predict what might happen, investigate and observe, and lastly, draw a conclusion based on the results.  This is the same method that should be written and accompanied your child's home science experiment.
You may bring your project beginning March 19.  Remember the science fair is on March 20.
