THE THREE HOOTS
Updates
Dear Parents,
Due to a PD day on February 12, our Valentine celebration will be February 11. We are asking that your child bring in a Valentine card for each child in his/her class. We will not be having a party with crafts and games. However, we will have a little time set aside to pass out and open Valentines.
Thanks—
Sara, Julie, & Tennille
A hardcopy of this note was sent home and has a list of classmates on the back.

SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE
Jeff Dykehouse, curator of natural history at Mackinac State Historic Parks, will be visiting us next week! The students will learn about the Great Lakes' watershed and the many ways that it interconnects with the animals of Michigan, compare the size and depth of the Great Lakes, view a satellite photograph of the region, and experience the look and feel of mounts, pelts and skulls of the many animals that depend on the watershed for life. It is a great program that incorporates science with Michigan History.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to our PTO for funding this program for our third graders!
