Presidential Day
Today we met two former US Presidents!

Green Survey
In the Friday Folders there is a green paper with a quick survey for parents to take.  Mrs. Thoroughman needs these returned on Tuesday! Every student that returns the green survey to me on Tuesday will receive two homework passes or two coupons (they may choose) that they may use that week.

Movies
This past weekend I got to take Lucas and Dylan to the movies for the Olivers' winning bid on the "date" with me at the art auction.  We had a great time!

Spelling Words This Week
This week the challenge list and the regular list for spelling do not overlap at all.  There will be two separate lists, each with 20 words.

Bundle Up!
The weather at Animal Ark for time we will be there tomorrow is currently showing temps in the 40's with a 40% chance of rain.  The plan is to go regardless so make sure to dress warmly.  

Boxes
If anyone has boxes that they could bring in that would be great! I will need to start packing up the room for the big move soon. :)  If you have any large storage tubs that I could use that would also be greatly appreciated.  I can put your name on them and return them to you! Thank you for your help!

Animal Ark
This Friday we will be going to Animal Ark.  The bus will be leaving right around 9:00.  Any one chaperoning will need to drive their own cars due to very limited seating on the bus.  Students will need to bring a cold lunch since we will be eating lunch at Animal Ark.  We will not be able to spend any time at the gift shop on this trip so please do not bring any money to spend.  Make sure to wear shoes appropriate for walking and lots of sunscreen.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Spectra Art
Today was our last Specta Art lesson for this school year! We learned about Georgia O'Keefe and used watercolors to create realistic paintings of flowers in her traditional style.  A huge thank you to Maddie's mom for all her hard work and her commitment to teaching us art every month this year! We were so lucky to have you!!

Vitamins?
Do you any of your kids take these vitamins? I need more jars like this, with any color lid.  Even if you have other containers that are similar in size that have a lid that would be great!! Thanks!

Hula Hoopin'
Some hula hoopin' fun from last week!
