A few reminders and inquiries

-Early release today at 1:00 due to weather concerns.

-School photo day Friday. If you don't have a form or have misplaced it, let us know and we will send a new one home with your child.

EXPERIMENTS WITH PLANTS!

We have started planning our controlled experiments for our science unit. Students are grouped by the variable they are changing: Water, Light, Pollination, Fertilizer, and Space. They have thought through their question and have begun to think about materials they will need to accomplish their experiment accurately, completely and creatively. Some students will be coming home and looking for resources (such as food coloring, salt, recycled cardboard) to use for their experiment.

I want to invite anyone who may have experience, passion or a background in the following areas to consider coming in to be a guest speaker. I love having other people share their experiences and perspectives with the students.

I am looking for:

-Beekeeper
-Botonist
-Garden enthusiasts

If you know of any people that would like to be a special guest for our class, feel welcome to ask them and let me know! Thank you.
