Week of April 16, 2012

Exciting events in our classroom: Report cards went home on Friday.  Please sign them and return them after you have looked them over.  Please contact me if you have any questions. We will be going to the Visitor's Center for a program about botany next Thursday.  The programs have been very good in the past, so I'm excited for us to attend this one. I'm working with your child on a new independent reading book project for our Daily 5 reading.  We are making goals for their reading and meeting to discuss their goals.  Please continue to support them in their reading each night. Thank you to John for our new class pet.  It is a beta fish that we decided to name Thunderfish.                CLASSROOM WISH LIST               electric pencil sharpener
