The children had a great time this week when The Nature Company came to our school.  The zoologist introduced and allowed the children to pet a number of small animals such as: Penny the Rabbit, Phoenix the snake, Speedy the turtle and Twiggy the Stick bug.   In addition, the Nature Company put on an interactive puppet show which the children really e(njoyed.

Our classroom also received our ladybugs this week and we are going to track their progress and watch the metamorphosis, it's very exciting.  (Life Cycle of a Ladybug)

With the weather getting warmer, we will be outside much more and the children get very thirsty.  If you could give the children water in their backpacks, with their names on it, that would be great.  I think sunscreen would protect them during our outdoor time.  Also, for their comfort when running around, sneakers would be the best choice at school.  Thank you.

It is very important  to read to your children every day.  They have been writing their first names on a white board every day for the last 2 months.  Have them practice writing the names at home as often as possible.

Please bring clothes to school if your child does not have any here or if you believe the ones we have do not fit anymore.  When we get the new ones we will return the old ones.  Thank you.

Please send in notes stating you are aware your child was not in school on a certain day and the reason.  It is important for state records.

As always, if you need to speak with me please let me know.

Thank you,
