*Mark your calendars! We are going to be doing a special activity in honor of Dr. Seuss. We will be studying The Lorax the week of March 5th. On Saturday, March 10th, we will have an optional class outing to the movie! A permission slip and more information were sent home with your child on Friday, February 24, 2012. Please read over it, complete it with your plans for that day, and return it to school no later than Wednesday, March 7th! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
*New Book-It calendars were sent home on Wednesday, February 1st. Use the calendar to track the number of minutes your child reads. If he/she reads for twenty minutes, he/she can color in the date on the calendar. In order to earn the free personal pan pizza coupon from Pizza Hut, your child will need to read for twenty minutes, four times a week. The calendar is due back on February 29th. The program will continue through March.
*Come Play with Me will take place on Tuesday, February 28th during our P.E. time (2:10 – 2:50). This is a chance for you to come in and participate in P.E. with your child. Hope to see you there!

The first one is from 5:50 – 7:30 p.m. and the second one is from 7:20 – 9:00 p.m. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering, please contact Melissa Myers at 317-374-8148 or myers243@yahoo.com.
