Reminders.

We have MontCas testing tomorrow for the Reading section. This test is the most challenging due to kids getting tired while reading 4-5 passages. It will really help if they have that full 8 hours of sleep tonight and a good breakfast packed with protein. PLEASE avoid sugar cereals tomorrow. Eggs and peanutbutter toast is a great start! Kids can bring a protein snack as well. Hard boiled eggs are always good, just shell before class please. Peanutbutter on a spoon is also a great treat!

We have been studying animals in science. As an introduction, we have been studying some rare and strange animals from all over the world using Jeff the Zoo guy youtubes. Very cool. Next week we will start an indepth project and study into different environments and the animals that are found there. There will be many components to this group project. Students will need to stay on top of it and contribute to their group. We will also start our journey into the Everglades of Florida with a fun story read by our dear friend, Mrs. Caskey.

There will be a volunteer opportunity this month finally!!! We will once again partner up with MCC and do a road cleanup by Shiloh on the west end. MCC has adopted these miles of road. It will be on March 20th in the morning. Watch for permission and information forms this week.

Spring pictures came home today. You will need to view them and then decide what to do with them. You can purchase all of them, part of them, or none of them. Please send in checks and/or unpurchased pictures by this Friday. $100 reward to those that meet that deadline.

Thanks!
