We're learning all about pets this week! We have an exciting week ahead of us as we learn about different kinds of pets, their needs and wants, etc.
With that in mind, we are going to do a pet project on Friday. I told your child that I want them to look for a "palm-sized" rock to bring in to school by this Friday. This rock canNOT be bigger than their palm (but it can be smaller). We are going to be making our very own pet rocks and doing a variety of activities with our "pets".

I still have not received a proof of residency from many of you. Please send this in ASAP!!!
