• The school has just received this notice from Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, through which we get our wonderful science teachers. We will not be able to take a class field trip there but the museum is open during non-school hours. Some of your children may be interested:

• On a more mundane note, the second graders in room 11 worked on ABC order this morning.
• They also finished painting and constructing their "stacking turtles." The turtles did not get stacked however, they were hung on our "clothesline," but not before the discovery that they made terrific Frisbees. Who knew?
• Our class drew pictures and wrote notes to one of our favorite classified people today: Mrs Green, our librarian.
• In the computer lab, the children are still working on typing a story about their favorite place in the school. Those who have completed their typing have changed fonts and letter colors to finish their paintings off.
• Dylan joined the gum chewers today.
• Students wrote short paragraphs about their favorite Dr Seuss books and why.
• During Art/Student Store/Finish-Up time today, students listened to music from the musical they will be attending next week, Really Rosie.
