Wednesday

It was a wonderful Wednesday in Mrs. Harvath's class!

***Please email Mrs. Erb if you would like to volunteer to be a swim mom – your help would be greatly appreciated!

***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.
