Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!
Thank you to all the parents who helped make Friday's Overnight (day and night) activities a huge success. All parents jumped right in and did most anything that was needed: from helping out on the field trip, to getting dinner and desert ready, to serving us and cleaning up after us, for helping us plant and paint our pots, to watching us while we ate and play, for getting the room ready for sleeping in and setting it back up and for making sure we didn't loose anything or anyone, as well as taking care of me so I can take care of the munchkins. Thank you all for all you did and the extent you did! Without you there would be no overnight! Thank you!!!!!!

Weekly Theme Update
This week we will be learning about butterflies and life cycles this week. We will also be starting on our research projects. Today I sent home an information packet on the insect project.

CSAP Weeks for Other Grades
Starting this week there will be CSAP testing for some of the older grades. Our grade level does not take CSAP's but we do change our schedule around to accomodate the other grades that do. Attached to my home web page, under documents, is the modified schedule for CSAP days for the next two Tuesdays and Thursdays (March 11th, 13th, 18th, 21st). The main change is that the specials time and math will be flipped around for those days. Seeing as we have specials first thing in the morning, please remember to be in line in time before the bell rings in the morning outside. Thank you for your help in this temporary change in schedule : )
