Half Day Friday!

We had a great day and week! Thank you for sending in permission slips and fees so promptly! Also, thank you to those who have volunteered to drive to Forgotten Harvest. It will be such an amazing experience!

What we worked on in reading and writing in on our workshop wiki page (the kids know where to find this). In science we continued observing our mealworms and caterpillars. Please ask your child to show you their group's wiki pages. You can even see pictures of all our insects!

We had our Character Connections activities this week and hopefully your child enjoyed the wonderful events.

Choice Hour classes for Quarter Three were distributed today so please have your child show you their neon green sheet! They are very excited!

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful weekend!
