Just a reminder that Monday, February 11th is our Khadra dance performance. The students have been working hard and are very excited! Miss Brooke, the dance instructor, has asked if students could wear bright colored tops as we are going to the tropics for our dance. Girls can also choose to wear floral patterned dresses.
Two performances will take place. The first one is at 10:20 am followed by the second one at 11:00 am. Hope to see you there.
It was great seeing you at Marine Mammal Night this past Thursday. I was so impressed with the research and projects each student presented to the class. The excitement was so great; many of the students completed more than one and still want to continue research on additional marine mammals!
Details and instructions for another research project is on the way in Monday’s homework packet. Students are to choose an African American and complete a time line of this person’s life. It is due at the end of the month.
The fieldtrip permission slip for February 27th to the Jr. Center of Arts & Science will also be sent home on Monday. The district has totally changed our requirements for issuing permission slips for off-site trips, now there’s much more information for all of us to complete. Note the permission slip is two pages long. So check out the front and back of the form. Be sure to sign it at the end.
Thanks to the parents who are coordinating our Valentine’s party on February 14th and to those of you providing food and activities! It will be healthy and fun! If your child is planning to give cards, it would be appreciated that there be one for every student in the class. They will be responsible for delivering their cards to their friends via Room 6 mail service!
Just a reminder that Monday, February 18th is President’s Day, No School.
Field trip; Reminders

Students should bring bag lunches clearly marked with their names. If all possible please send a drink that does not require a straw, plastic twist top containers are preferred. This is for the safety of the animals at the zoo. You can also include a quick snack like a fruit or granola type bar, something that can be eaten quickly if your child might become hungry before we start our program at 9:30 am.
They should dress warmly and in layers. It can be cold and foggy at the zoo even when the sun is shining elsewhere. Time will be spend both indoors and outdoors so they should wear comfortable shoes that will stay on their feet. Let’s pray for a sunny day, but if not raincoats should be sent as we will do at least one outdoor activity.
I’ve already told the children that we will not go on the rides. We will also not go to the snack bar or gift shop so additional money is not necessary.
We’re looking forward to a great trip to finish off our Animal Camouflage unit!
