Week of April 14

Homework

Big Word: i i l d w e f l
Reading: Read for 15 minutes a night and chart it.
Project: Write 5 sentences about your National Park.

Field Trips
I was wrong. We are not slowing down the field trips they have actually picked up recently and we are planned to be gone for the next few Fridays. I will be changing the OMSI trip to one during the week so keep your eye out for the change.

Parent Info Night
On April 22 we will have a parent information session to discuss the campout, end of the year activities and other questions you may have. The event starts at 6:30 and should last no more than an hour. It will mainly focus on the campout expectations and needs. For those of you who don't know we will be going camping at Nehalem Bay State Park on May 8th. It is a blast!

Theme Unit
Thank you all for helping your children get their National Park packets back in time. We will be making our own journals of our travels through our own and other National Parks.

Volunteer Work Day
Courtney has agreed to watch some of the kids on the work day but another helper may not be bad. The work day is scheduled for 9-12 and Megan and I will get things together on that Friday and/or Saturday morning. We will be painting, sanding, constructing and glueing. If we get enough people we could get some great stuff done for the school and our classroom.

Supplies
Thank you to those of you who brought in markers or offered. The problem has been rectified for now. You all rock!
