Rain Forest
I have received most of the green sheets with the notes for the animal your child chose. We will begin writing our reports next week. Feel free to visit the library and check out books for your child to read about the animal they chose. They may bring these books to school. You may send in their poster as soon as it is completed. Remember to follow the directions on the sheet that was sent home. If you need another sheet let me know. The posters are due no later than April 18th.
Student of the Week
Our special student was Jenna. She has one younger sister. A few of Jenna's favorite things are the color blue, horses and dogs, soup, Harry Potter books, and snow and water skiing. At school Jenna likes reading group. At home she likes playing the wii and playing with her sister. When Jenna grows up she wants to be a veterinarian.
