It was a short week here in K-3. I just have a few things to pass on. First of all, we had a wonderful time on our field trip to the Audubon Society. The children were on their absolute best behavior. I am so proud of them. We enjoyed a wonderful story called Stranger in the Woods, we went on a nature walk, we met a beautiful rescued Barred Owl and we were able to explore the very hands on museum. If you have time over February vacation, it is open and would make a fabulous day trip for children of all ages.

Please remember, if there is snow on the ground, your child should bring snow pants and snow boots to school. If they do not have them, I cannot let them play in the snow during recess. Thank you in advance. Also, please continue with the reading bags. Your children are doing great with their reading here at school and are ready to show you what they can do. Remember to keep the books for 2-3 nights and continue to read to your child as well. The books you read to them have rich vocabulary and strengthen their listening skills and imagination. It should be a relaxing time for you and your child.

Our 100^th day of school is fast approaching.

Please have your child collect 100 of something small and put them in a brown paper bag. On the outside of the bag list 3 clues about what is inside of the bag. Please send the bag in to school with your child’s name and the 3 clues on the outside of the bag.

Some examples of items that have been used in the past are goldfish, paperclips, marbles, feathers, pom- poms, q-tips, legos, pennies and even items from nature! Enjoy!

If you have any questions please let me know. You can send the bags in as soon as you have them Right now we are on the 91^st day of school. So, depending on the snow days the 100^th day will be there.

Thank you very much!

Have a nice weekend,

Mrs. MacIntyre
