POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY
On Thursday, we wrapped up our study of poetry with National Poem in Your Pocket Day. The children enjoyed reading their poem to many different people around our building and to each other. Be sure to see the Gallery for all the photos! Be sure to stop by the classroom and see the lovely display of the children's heart maps that they used to inspire poetry writing.

On Friday, we will walk over to the Historic Campus to visit the LabArts display and watch the High School performance of Fractured Fairy Tales. The weather is forecasted for mid 50s and possible rain so please make sure your child is dressed accordingly.

Be sure your child has other school clothes to change into.
