Friday

It was a Fantastic Friday in Mrs. Harvath's class! We had a great time on our visit to the “Rouge” today! Very cool!
REMINDERS:
***Bring in headphones (for spelling test)
***Bring in Swim stuff for Monday
***Bring in 1 can of white frosting (due Friday) for the winter party on Dec. 16 – we will use these to make our gingerbread houses!!!!
***Please donate candy for the gingerbread houses (Friday)
***Bring in 1 used chapter book (due Friday) for the classroom book exchange on Dec. 16. Books need to be in good condition, be appropriate for a girl or boy, wrapped, and include “from” + name on the front.
***3rd grade – Spanish homework is due Tuesday
***Please donate 1 clear, 2 liter bottle for science (due after break). In January, we will begin our THRILLING unit on Ecosystems. Kids will be getting their own terrarium and aquarium for their group, which will house real live plants and real live animals!!! For this exciting unit to work, I need two things from families: (1) please send me CLEAR 2 liter pop bottles with caps from now until after break (break homework will be to drink a 2L!!) (2) I am looking for one or two adult volunteers to take the bottles home and cut them so I can assemble the terrariums and aquariums for the kids. I have a great instruction sheet. It is not hard, it just takes time. We make 10 sets. Please email me if you would be willing to volunteer.
