Weekly Update for 09/18/17

Huge Thank You
I want to thank all of the families who came with our class to the IOWC Fair on Friday.  It was hot and busy, but the class had a great time.  Having so many extra eyes and hands meant so much to me especially at the beginning of the year.  We will be taking another field trip to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk in November to help launch our research lab on animals.  More information on this trip will be coming home soon. 

Volunteers
Last week I sent out an e-mail with a Google form linked to it if you would like to volunteer in our classroom.  Thank you to those that have filled the form out.  If you are still interested in volunteering, please e-mail me and I will resend the link to that form.  My hope is to start using volunteers in the classroom beginning in October.  I want to make sure that our routines are established before adding anyone new to the mix. 

Amazon Wishlist
Several parents have contacted me about any needs in the classroom.  I have an Amazon Wishlist that I keep updated as the year progresses with items that the class needs or would like to have.  The link to our wishlist is listed below.
