Our class would love to have more chaperones on upcoming field trips! If you are able, please let me know if you can join us on any upcoming trips. We have very few volunteers right now, and while I know not everyone can dedicate the time, please consider doing so if you are able. Please look at the important dates list to the right of this post for field trip dates.
Thank you for your support!

Endangered Species Day: A SUCCESS!
Our assembly, fundraiser, and flash mob were all successful. Thank you to the students for their hard work, parents for their support, and Mrs. Kane, Miss Closter, and MJ for integrating this project into their curriculum.
Check out today's Times Argus to see our class on the front page with Miss Closter's kindergartners!

Endangered Animal Day TOMORROW
Hello Parents!
We are just about ready for tomorrow's activities.
We will be running the all-school assembly on the upper playground from 8:30-8:50.
The bake sale and craft fair will be in our classroom from 9-11 (set-up starts at 8).
One glitch in the plan is that so far, I have been unable to find battery-operated speakers to use for the flash mob (planned for about 12:30 on the State House lawn). If you have speakers that we can use with an iPhone, please let me know.
The kids have worked extremely hard, and tomorrow's culmination will be very exciting!
