Rainforest -

* Thank you to everyone who brought a food item for the Open House.  We have a few dishes left over.  We have two red bowls, two glass square containers, and a small nutmeg.  Please email your child's teacher if these are your items.  If not, we will donate them to the school's kitchen before Spring Break.
 

*If you made a large animal you need to come get it today or tomorrow.  The smaller animals will be sent home with your child.

*We need as much help as possible deconstructing the rainforest.  It doesn't take too much time to break it down so please help.  It's amazing how much you can accomplish in 30 minutes.  We need it completely down by Thursday.  Thanks for your help.

We are busy grading all of the projects and hopefully you will have them all by Spring Break.
