100+ Book Club
Our due date for turning in 100+ book club forms is fast approaching. The last day to have the 100+ book club form completed will be Monday, May 2nd. I will not be able to take any forms after the due date since we need official numbers to order the pizza for our celebration. If your child is reading books as part of Reading Improvement groups, have them log those books down on their book log! We now have 18 students that have made the 100+ book club!

Visiting our eggs...Due to hatch May 6th!!!
Unfortunately, our classroom incubator hasn't been able to hold the correct temperature so Mrs. Platz has been egg sitting for us. We have visited them a few times and will be visiting a lot more as we get closer to their due date. Our chicks are due Friday, May 6th! They will be moved to a box in our classroom once they have hatched! We are SO excited for the week ahead and are looking forward to welcoming them into our classroom!
