Reminders:

Next Friday is Community Service Day. If you have not signed up to help and need service hours for the school, please contact Julia Corrin. Community Service Day is an all-day event so please make sure to send water bottles with students so they can stay hydrated. Spelling homework will be going home today. We will have our spelling test on Thursday. It will also be a regular reading folder week, students will just a lighter work load on Thursday so folders can get checked.

Call for shoe boxes. Since we are visiting the Lookout Mountain Center and will be dissecting owl pellets I am circling back to ecology in science. Students will be making their own habitats out of the shoe boxes or similar sized boxes collected the week of 4/29 (not next week the week after). I need 13 boxes total. This is not a go out and buy things project. I am challenging kids to start collecting little animals/ things around their rooms to make their habitat out of. We will design, discuss what habitats need to be successful next week then start the build the week of 4/29. Students can start bringing in boxes next week though.
