CLASS BOOK:

In January, we made a class book titled: "In the Winter". This week, I will begin sending it home with a different child each night. Please feel free to write your child a short message at the back of the book (on the pink pages). Some ideas include: Great job _____! I love your picture _______! etc. We will place the book in the class library for the children to read. Thank you for your cooperation:)

I sent home the March flyers for Scholastics before the March break. The deadline to submit your order is Thursday, March 12, 2020.

Maximus, Olivier and Zain will present their Mystery bags on Friday, March 13, 2020.

Our overnight buddy Olivia the Owl will continue to make her way around our class. Please return the overnight buddy and journal book in the ziploc bag it was sent home in the next day.


MULTICULTURAL FAIR:

Good Shepherd School will be hosting a multicultural fair at the end of the month (on Thursday, March 26th, 2020, from 4:00-6:00 P.M.).  My class has randomly selected to learn more about PAKISTAN!  If you have any books or other items to share with the class, I would greatly appreciate it, as I do not have much material on Pakistan. Thank you :)
