Week of 4/28-5/2

Odds and Ends

Another great week down! Our class celebrated Earth Day by wearing green, blue, and brown. We read about the history of Earth Day, and why it is so important we are aware of the issues in our environment and how we can prevent pollution and the loss of resources. 

If anyone would like to donate a roll of paper towels or to our prize box, our class would greatly appreciate it! :) Thank you!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and look forward to seeing you at Open House this coming Thursday!
