Dear parents,
I hope you've been able to enjoy the lovely weather we've been having!

As a reminder, this Friday is the Dr. Seuss read-a-thon.  You are welcome to join us if you'd like from 8:30 to 10:30.  I've asked the kiddos to bring in Dr. Seuss books (or other favorite short stories) to be shared by the class.  We have set a goal of reading a total of 150 books during Friday's read-a-thon.  Each student is expected to seek pledges totaling $50 in connection with the read-a-thon. (Money is due in late March). This money will be used to cover the costs of the end of the year overnight trip to Bandelier and Tsankwae. Thank you for supporting our goals.

Here's this week's homework.

Hello parents,
Please be sure to ask your student about our class' fundraising goals for the end-of-the-year trip to Bandelier.  Each student needs to gather $50 in pledges for the Dr. Seuss Read a Thon.  If we all do our part, we will be able to fund a really fun trip at the end of the year.  Thank you for your help and support.
Dr. Seuss Read a Thon is Friday, 2/28.  Pledges due in a month - on 3/21.

Also in science, we've started a new unit of study - our body's many systems, including the skeletal, nervous, digestive, respiratory and circulatory.  This week our observations will dig deeper into the nervous and digestive systems.  Ask your student about it!
