Our Pink Lady caterpillars and ladybug larvae should be here next week and the children are EXCITED!!!! We have been talking about insects every day. Ask your child how many body parts and legs an insect has. They may even be able to tell you the names of the body parts! (Head, thorax and abdomen if you forgot :) )
I have only had ONE family send in a set of warm weather clothes to replace the winter change of clothes for their child!!! (Remember the email before break?) Missing your child's coat? I have a laundry basket FULL of them! I will set the basket outside out classroom door every day until next Wednesday, 3/28, and then I am going to donate them. Does your child always forget their coat? I can help you! Ask me how!
The school carnival is Saturday 3/31 at the main campus. Our class booth is a prize wheel! If you don't have your 10 volunteer hours, you are running out of time! This is a fun and great way to get some hours. Thanks to those who have signed up already!
The red Family Book Bag is still circulating though the students, so f you have not seen it yet- you will!

Spring is on the way!
March brings so much to the classroom! Insects and butterflies, study of Georgia O'Keeffe, study of the composer Wagner, Asia, animals of Asia, flags of Asia, nutrition and the Family Bookbag Program.
Asia
Asia studies in my classroom are so much fun for me! My mother spent much of her childhood in Korea and Vietnam, and I have all of her treasures to share!
Family Bookbag Program
For the Family Bookbag Program, each child will have a turn to take the red tote home and enjoy the books and activities for a few days. Please keep track of the books (I can't get replacements if they are lost-this is a federally funded program) and return them on the date specified inside the bag. Enjoy learning about healthy foods with your child!
Please Check Out:
